Felt the Soleus for the rest of the day after 1:00 of running. Reading a lot on the boards and the injury sounds like a Soleus strain - literally a tear in the Soleus muscle (relevant symptoms, beyond the location of the injury, include the fact that the pain is a show stopper - anyone who talks about "running-through" the injury, or about how it felt better as the run progressed, or about how it hurts more to walk than run, does not have what I have).
Anecdotcal and clinical evidence suggests that 10-14 days-off from running is the best bet.

Another strategy - given that runners regularly report that they feel no pain, complete a run, feel fine, go out for a second run a day later and have a recurrence of pain - would be to avoid running entirely until Day Zero and figure that my general fitness will carry me through any task, especially if I take the running nice and easy.
