Last night my left calf muscle cramped up again in the middle of the night.  Seriously, it's the worst charlie horse ever.  My friend said that I need to drink more water.  But I don't want to pee the bed.

I am sure your wife does not want that either. There is always platic pants!

From Britta on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 13:50:16 from 66.74.236.175

So I left the S out.. .So What?

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 14:01:26 from 207.225.192.66

Burt, I have also heard that eating more bananas or I guess getting more potacium will help with the leg cramps.

I only got them when I was pregnant... hmmm maybe you should look into that LOL

From Burt on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 14:14:25 from 68.76.197.194

Britta - Plastic pants! I'll have to look into that. Do you think they make them in my size?

Lori - has anyone ever frogged your arm? That's what it feels like, but on my calf. It's just all of the sudden. Like I twitch or something and it triggers the defense muscles to knot up real fast. I don't know how to describe it. Just pain. My wife was up to witness it. She offered to massage it, but I didn't want anyone touching it. Feels better now.

From Rhett on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 14:38:18 from 170.215.58.122

You've just been training hard. Keep drinking your fluids with electrolytes and all will be well.

From Eric Day on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 15:45:44 from 200.52.205.190

Did someone break YOUR leg?

From Burt on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 16:02:28 from 68.76.197.194

At the time it felt like it.

From Sam Dean-howard on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 16:14:38 from 90.201.147.127

Yeah I suffer from cramps Burt, theyre real painful, my hubby laughs, as hes never had cramps....

I jump outta bed and jump up and down make silly noises so not funny at the time.... Its loss of salts and not being hydrated enough, try wearing compression socks in the night, of cheaper version of compression socks is flight socks they really work hehehe they do I wear them all the time LOL :-)

From RivertonPaul on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 18:23:05 from 67.42.27.114

Painful.

From ben on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 18:29:45 from 209.33.248.15

It was karma... that poor fast guy sensed your loathing feelings... lol Hope you feel better soon!

From Burt on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 23:47:07 from 98.167.151.26

I just updated my blog for my evening workout, should anyone care to see. (It may be in some of your best interest to see. I'm just saying.)

From RAD on Tue, Jun 09, 2009 at 23:56:36 from 67.166.99.8

hahaha!!! Burt I've never met you, but I THINK I recognize some of those ladies...I've never seen them all 'hanging out' like that though!!! :)

From Sam Dean-howard on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 04:43:23 from 78.32.130.9

From Burt on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 13:08:42 from 68.76.197.194

Okay, Kelli will bake a dozen cookies to whoever can name all the Suns dancers pictured above.

From marion on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 13:59:44 from 71.219.54.130

You are TOO funny burt! Nice pic's :)

Banana's with milk :)

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 16:08:34 from 207.88.76.69

From marion on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 16:20:24 from 71.219.54.130

From Burt on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 16:25:28 from 68.76.197.194

Who is the mystery girl???

From Burt on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 16:57:27 from 68.76.197.194

3 out of 5 on the 2nd picture for Merri.

4 out of 5 for Marion.

From Scott Wesemann on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 18:54:45 from 66.239.250.209

Burt, those pics are great. Nice job. Cramps in the calf at night are the WROST and I get them from time to time. It is always when I haven't been drinking enough water. Hey, if you don't want to pee the bed there is always adult diapers. Not all that comfy, but darn sexy.

From Merri on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 20:10:01 from 207.88.76.69

Who is the mystery girl and Marion you are soooo TAN!!! :)

From Burt on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 21:03:21 from 68.76.197.194

Kelli guessed correctly that the mystery girl is none other than the UK's own Sam Dean-Howard. Now she wins cookies from...herself.

From marion on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 22:52:42 from 71.219.54.130

yes, I am SO so tan!!! Just call me skin cancer girl ;)

From kungfublonde on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 23:10:39 from 64.203.113.50

Oh I had not seen this!

The ONLY way you can tell that's not me is because she's too short. I'm an amazon.

From argentinerocket on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 23:24:42 from 98.204.55.168

So funny!!! Marion, I didn't know you got that beach volleyball player body already! Congrats!

From kungfublonde on Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 23:41:55 from 64.203.113.50

...but that's exactly how adoringly I'd gaze at you, B-town.

From Kelli on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 20:09:43 from 71.219.74.247

I made cookies, and I ate them!

From Burt on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 20:15:05 from 68.76.197.194

Were they good? You earned them. Well, maybe not. You're like Robert Horry. The rest of the team does all the work, and then he steps in and makes the last glory shot. Or John Paxson. Or Steve Kerr. I shouldn't compare you to them. I hate them.

From Kelli on Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 20:20:09 from 71.219.74.247

Yeah, do not compare me to people you hate!!! I know I am not in your top 5, but don't hate me.

You can taste the cookies on Monday, hopefully they will not be hard.

From Burt on Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 00:58:01 from 98.167.151.26

What are you talking about Kelli? You're my number one friend. I don't want to make it seem like I'm playing favorites though, so don't tell anyone. Just keep it on the down low.

From Lyns on Sun, Jun 14, 2009 at 12:49:36 from 75.162.104.51

LOL Ha ha ha - Laughing my head off! Good one Merri. Probably the only time you'll ever see me standing at the same height as you Merri. ☺

From Burt on Sun, Jun 14, 2009 at 14:58:35 from 98.167.151.26

Hi Lyns. I know you're new to the blog so I hope I didn't creep you out too bad. I just didn't know who else to pair up with the "Sisters Grimm."
