Oh, the pain...

About the time Kiri came to bed last night (around 0100) I suffered one on the worst Charlie Horses I've had in years. It felt like a rock had been placed in my calf, that's how tight the muscles were. Took about five minutes before I could even begin to stretch the affected area.

Now of course the entire leg is tender and twinging like it wants to cramp again. Hot shower once I get home to help relax it, and plenty of hydration today.

Make sure you get adequate potassium. V-8 is good, so is orange juice, potatoes, raisins and other stuff I'm not going to look up now.

You're more likely to be low on potassium than sodium.

More water, less beer (dodges large flying objects)
