Very interesting day today. I woke up this morning at 3 AM with a cramp in my right calf, man it hurt. Then when the alarm clock went off at 5 I must have stretched because I caught another one in my left calf, that one hurt pretty good too. I told myself well I’m not going to run because I’ll probably cramp up anyway. I laid there and thought about it and I said you know I have got to go and try this if I want this marathon, nobody said it would be easy and I know there will be some pain and discomfort, but hey it will be worth it. So I got up and ran, there was only 4 miles on the schedule, no cramps my calves were tight for the first mile and a half and my knee was stiff for the first couple, but I finished feeling good. After the run I felt so good even though it was just a short run I had that runner’s high I was so pumped. I’m doing this today not tomorrow. The picture is of my calves about 30 minutes after my run, just hours before they both were cramped up.
