Update !
Week 12 of 18
I saw Larry the Physio on Thursday night and he put me through my paces to test the calf (soleus). Basically I can jump with bent bad leg up and down now without any pain. So I'm 100% in his eyes.
We spent most of the session dealing then with my left hip which is always been out of alignment. I have a bunch of yoga type exercises to point the hip where it's suppose to be. I'm also doing a bunch of nasty tummy crunches (legs up in the air at 45 degrees crossed at ankles) aimed at releasing my hip flexors.
I'm doing all these twice a day and will go back to see him in 3 weeks. I discussed the whole Canberra Marathon thing with him and we now have a revised plan to get me to the start line. I'm pretty content with it all.
