I took two days off, pain went away, but after 2 miles it came back. I tried googling what I could, but explaining the pain is difficult.
Any ideas? I plan to try again Tuesday so we will see.

Typically this is a muscle weakness somewhere else cause the calves to work harder than they need to. If you can focus on double leg and single leg toe lifts on the edge of a stair first. Then focus on some heavy weights on squats and lunges if you can without pain. Then I would do lots of clam shells and bridges. Strengthen everything in the whole chain. Most issues in running stem from a weakness in the hips or the gluten since they are what starts the chain.
