When you say "tweaking" what do you mean?  You should get it checked out as you have posted calf complaints several times.   

I think it is more of a foot strike thing, only happens when i push hard, i can run a 10 min pace all day and never feel it, i start to go below 9 mins and at about 1 1/2 miles it kinda tightens up, it is weird, it is the lower part of the calf only when pushing up to the toes and i do not feel it when i bike or run in short spurts. What kind of doc should i go see??  Ped secialist, GP, Chiro??

you are correct, i hardly see any fall DU's, that is why i will go to the Island. The ride is not too too bad considering I am in the South. We could always car pool if you want to go to the one Nov 30th and meet me in Norwalk!!

I had a similar problem, my doc told me that I had tight calf muscles that were affecting my achillies.

It's common to have tight calf muscles, try  10 min stretching session pre and post workouts.  You can also have your gait analyzed at some specialty running shops.

Dr = either and ortho or intenist who specializes in sports medicine.  If you are willing to travel to milford, I have a friend who is great, PM me if you want his name/number.

Make sure you have the right shoes.  I got fitted for running shoes for the first time this year and it has been a god send.  I have had zero pain despite having bad ankles and years of pounding from football.  Also make sure to stretch lots as another poster said.  I am skeptical of a foot strike issue as there is no science to back up that your natural gait is anything other than the right way to run... but do not profess to be an extpert on any of this.
