You Put Your Left Foot In
It was once again, cold tonight. And I went for a run. Thankfully with Andy in tow, so he could inspire me to run.
As we ran, I felt quite okay for the first 2 miles. And then my left calf cramped. And then my shins. And then the right side of my quad on my left leg. And my leg felt all contorted and weird and incredibly, mind-numbing, paralyzing, sore. So just over half a mile later, I was at my front door and out of my shoes and on the floor, stretching with a bag of ice in my hands.
Ouch.
I don't know why it happened, but I sure hope it doesn't happen tomorrow morning. I want to run tomorrow morning. And running with a leg that pulls the wrong way while the muscles work on their own instead of together - well, that isn't a good thing. Not by a far stretch.
While writing this, I was listening to "Ironmantalk Episode 3" by Bevan James Eyles and 'Coach' John Newsom

False freedom leaves a man free to do what he likes; true freedom, to do what he ought.
