Day Sixty Eight

Well. Then. Worked this weekend and was very busy Saturday. 16.5 hours. Sunday was a better day all around. This weather is killer for the power companies. Storms pop up out of nowhere and wreak havoc. Heat and humidity don't agree with electricty.
I don't care much for it either.
Monday morning woke up around 4:30 to bang of thunder and the flash of lightning. Got up to close windows, then sat on the sofa with my wife and watched. I didn't stay up, but my wife had to work early. Woke up at 7:30 with a wicked cramp in my left calf muscle. Hopped out of bed to work the cramp out. Went back to bed for another hour or so. The muscle felt tight but no pain. Decided I'd try and run. Did extra stretching on my left leg. Ran 20 minutes and stopped for a breather. 20 minutes! Wow. That's a first for me. A minute later I started running again. Did about 5 more minutes and had to stop. My left knee was all achy and I developed a limp. Walked the rest of the way back. I'm sure it has something to do with the cramp from this morning.
I hope I didn't do any damage. I've talked to people who've had knee and other joint problems. And things never seem to be right after the injury. I don't know why I had the cramp in the first place. I don't usually have things like that. Although Sunday morning about 4:30 or 5:00 I woke up and my right knee hurt to the touch and ached bad. When my alarm went off, though, there no pain at all. It must have been a very vivid dream.
I'll do extra stretches and keep a close eye on the situation. I don't want to be running with or into problems. Tuesday I'll bicycle and see what the response from my leg will be.
S'Later.
