I'm crippled now. Hopefully it's only for a week. I was on pace to qualify during the mile when I got this horrible cramp in my calf. I over extended it and it did not feel good. I finished with an ok time, but I was very disappointed. I could tell something was wrong after my race. I massaged the calf. Eventually, my other one started to cramp a little. As I was warming up for the 3200, I noticed that they were sort of pulsing: getting tight and then very loose. The coaches told me to try the 3200 anyways. They pulled me out a mile in. Both of my calves had locked up and it was very painful. I was crying and it was not good. They stopped hurting when I stopped running, but they had developed huge knots and hurt when I moved them or tried to put weight on them. The pain went away eventually. Now they are just really tight. I'll probably be out a few days. Being crippled is not fun.
