The dreaded leg cramp!

Ouch! Last night I was sitting on my couch and began to push in the recliner leg (which works now, yay Bart!) and I got cramps in BOTH of my calves!! Oh, agony! It really smarted. I supposed it is the running.

I ran today, but it was slow and hard and not especially fun. I am tired. I'm playing tomorrow by ear. Might be time for a day off. I don't want to do it, but I suppose I should listen to my loudly complaining body.....for once!

I got my new iPod today. Course, I had to turn in my old one. I had a panic when it didn't start charging but then I realized that it was the wrong connector - a super old one!

Sure sorry about the leg cramps! No fun. A day off might very well be in order. Glad you got the new iPod! I'd be lost without mine now.

I went for the 5 mile bike ride again this morning. 57 out there and I really wanted to run a couple miles but was afraid I would start coughing so took the easier bike ride instead. Also did the push ups and sit ups when I got home though and it all went ok. Still sniffling here this morning and some coughing but getting better.

57 is perfect! Ah, that last kiss of summer!

Glad you're still feeling better.

Turns out I had an Icy/Hot pad that I got a loooong time ago - for free. I went to a new Target and the pharmacy was giving out gift bags which included this sticker. Anyway, I cut it in half, stuck it on my calves, and went to bed. And they really really feel better this morning!

Of course, the real miracle is that they actually stayed on all night!
