Do any of the runners here have problems with cramps in the calf? I woke up last week with a terrible cramp which left me sore for a few days. I held off running and feel OK now. I have been trying to take minerals and eat very healthfully. Was it the running or just a coincidence? Advice?

Yay - flights all booked for the Gold Coast, Hotel all booked, Hubbie home from overseas this morning. Still AF - 6 days - I feel really really happy today. Its been a brilliant day. Hubbie arrived home at 9am this morning, kids had left at 8.30 for the bus so we got to spend the whole day ALONE. Now school holidays for two weeks but hubbies home till Tuesday with the kids and I can do some serious running without having to worry about kids etc. I am so happy! I dont even want alcohol today

Runners,
Of which I was one many years ago.
My PE teacher tried me on all kinds of things and the only thing I could do was run.
Running is not an art, it is a spirit.
When I was running I was in my own space. Nothing else was there. Just me.
I have never experienced anything so wonderful. Ever.
I wish I could do it again but I can't. The body parts of this elderly woman won't cooperate.
But I did run. Many, many miles. Not to someone else's pace, my own. It was a very spiritual experience.
I HTH,
Cindi
Im sorry I didn't attach this properly Cindi!!!
That moved me so much, and I wanted to thank you so much for what you said, it moved me to tears. I too am a runner, and hope and plan to keep on running for as long as my body allows. I loved how you said it is a spiritual experience, I so feel that way too. It is my sanity, it is my life to some degree, apart from being mom, wife, etc.
And alcohol takes it away. I am on day 6 AF today, and I need to stay AF!!! Running def. helps with that. Thanks to the god of my understanding for giving me legs to run and a heart to beat!!!

I love to run, although I am not fast enough. I do about three half marathons a year. Drinking interferes with performance. It is not fun getting up early to run with your group with a hangover from too much wine the night before. I am on day 22 and feeling pretty good. Enjoying being able to get up and run without a headache.
PlainJane, I also woke up and thanked God for the ability to run. We should never take this for granted. Many people would love to run but can't for many reasons.
Best wishes to all in your AF journey and keep running.Don't worry, be happy!

I guys, I fell off the fitness wagon for a bit when AL took over but I am ready to take my body back! I love to run (used to hate it, bit it becomes therapy), elliptical, weight training, bicycle, mud races, etc.
I download all the my favorite high energy high beat, pumped up music and GO. Mix it in with some slower stuff for warm ups and cool downs. You can create play lists for cardio, weight training, cool down etc.
Have fun!!Day 1 again 11/5/19
Goal 1: 7 days :heartbeat:
Goal 2: 14 days :happy2:
Goal 3: 21 days :happy2:
11/27/19: messed up but back on track
12/14/19: bad doozy but back on track
One day at a time.
