Walkies

The weather was cool and cloudy at lunchtime -- perfect for walking. The usual route to the pond via the back hill. I thought I was at my usual pace, but may well have been going a little faster because my heart-rate stayed up even on the downhill segments. In any case it came to an abrupt slowdown when I got some rather painful leg cramps. Promptly stretching the calf muscle in question (the right leg) seems to have kept it from staying knotted up, but it sure hurt. Several times. It seemed to want to tighten up when I got back to work and stopped walking, so I did a little more slow, careful walking indoors until it seemed to stabilize. I was still getting twinges a couple of hours later. Flexoril tonight.
