Brisbane to Sydney Opera House (virtual run)

I didn't get a chance to run on the weekend.  My calf muscle was quite sore.  It cramped on me a couple of times on Saturday.  I decided not to risk it and just rested for 2 days.  I think it was a smart move because I've got in some very good runs the last 2 days.  Yesterday I got in a quick dirty 5k and felt pretty good about it.  It's incredible what a stress relief my runs are.  I couldn't imagine not having this in my life.  I started this new job at work and the learning curve is pretty intense.  In fact I woke up at 1 am last night and couldn't fall back asleep for hours. 

Today's run was a personal favourite.  I was so into my run that I didn't want to stop.  When I hit 6ks I just kept going and ran for another 300 meters before I realized I had to pick up Mrs Slowrunning from work.  I felt great.

Off day tomorrow.....back to running on Thursday.

    If you are having cramping in your calf muscle or any muscle have a banana. You are getting them since your body is low in potassium. Having foods high in potassium will reduce lactic acid build up so no more cramping. Might I suggest using a program for your dietary needs, My Fitness Pal. That is a great tool.

    that's really funny because I've been eating lots of bananas this week. I do use my fitness pal....which I why I started to eat bananas because I noticed I was low in potassium.
