I overworked my left calf muscle while running this morning. Just before I finished the last lap of my twenty minutes, I could feel the calf burning, tightening as if somebody were pulling at the opposite ends. It was amazing that I finished the lap; I could hardly walk afterwards.

There was also a bit of added pressure on the knees. I could swear that my kneecaps are clicking whenever I walk or bend my knees. I don’t even want to try stepping down from relatively high platforms, for fear of beating up my knees.

I love running (I wrote about this earlier on), but when it rains, it pours. If I end up wrecking my knees, I wouldn’t be able to run anyway. So I might as well take a break from the running. Sigh.

Speaking of rain - don’t ever try jogging while it’s raining. It is not fun.
