DAY SIXTY EIGHT

Oh my poor little calf muscles!

So my friend MQ has this theory. Both of us are a tad vertically challenged... and she believes that we both have such strong calf muscles because we go up on our toes far more often than those taller than us... That being said, it came as quite a shock today when I felt like I was on the verge of pulling my calf muscles during Legs & back today. I don't remember ever having issues in my calf muscles. Soreness, yes. Muscle spasm pain, no. I don't know what I did yesterday or today to really over exert them...

Regardless, I got through the entire workout - even all of the calf raises with your feet in three different positions (toes out, toes straight, toes in). And then I did ab ripper x. That workout STILL kills me. But, I am getting MUCH better at the toe touch one and can complete ins & outs, front bicycle, crunchy frog (although I almost die), cross-legged sit-ups, toe touches, hip rock and up, and I'm up to 30 Mason twists at the end.

Ladies and gentlemen, I know that for most of you that bears no meaning, but trust me, it's an incredible feat. Trust me!

Anyway, after my workout, I had a bath in Epsom salts to help out my calf muscles. I do not want to wake up at 3 am with a Charley Horse. Charlie Horse? Ah, Wikipedia to the rescue... Charley Horse
