Mid morning 12k, moving along nicely, good mindfulness, good focus, pretty wholesome, timing out nicely, well on my way to PB for the 12k again and then, all that arises ceases....
Developed tightness in my right calf at about 6.5 km, by 7.5 km I had to stop and try to stretch, stopping was the worse thing I could have done apparently, another .5 km later and I stopped again, I was bent over and taking baby steps hobbling, felt like a cramp, felt like a torn muscle, felt like pain, and lots of it.
I managed to keep some form so as not to hurt anything else on the way home. I must have been ripping along, because I know I was running slow the last 4k and still ran a pretty quick time for the course. Running down hill was quite easy, running uphill was painful.
I've been stretching all day, I even took a Ukrainian pain killer a very rare event for me. Right now, at 4:00 p.m. it hurts but I am limping less. Just need to see what happens, I don't think it is a tear, it is however, a serious cramp, drinking water and green tea.
Nothing lasts forever.
