My calves have been super sore and tight since Sunday's long run. Not only is it very unusual for them to be this painful, it's also unusual for me to feel aches and pains from a long run for more than 24 hours afterwards. Despite pool running yesterday morning and lots of stretching and sticking last night, things are still very tight today.
So do I blame:
A) Running faster than I usually do
B) Epsom salt bath instead of my normal ice bath
C) Stomach issues that prevented me from properly hydrating and refueling right after the run
D) Forgetting to wear compression socks for the rest of Sunday
E) Daylight saving time
F) All of the above

All of the above. It's not nice to pick and choose.
oh, I thought this might be a fun game of blaming other people for the world's (or just your own) problems. Sad.
I say you blame it on the rain. (Yeah, yeah...)
Not the epsom salt bath. I freaking love those. Waaaaaaaay better than ice baths.
E) Daylight savings time for sure. No other possible reason!
All of the above
hahaha, I was going to say IF ALL ELSE FAILS BLAME IT ON THE RAINNNN.
or you can blame it on swimming in the cloudy pool.
I'm going to go with the stomach thing, not for any good reason. I just did eeny meeny miny mo.
all of the above!
I'm with the majority: All of the above!
A wicked combo of things! Feel better Calves!
Nooooooo, don't blame the Epsom salts! They are innocent!
