i woke up during the middle of the night with a painful
cramp in lower calf muscle- it was one of those that wakes up up out of a sound sleep
and has you gasping for air grabbing your calf trying to get it to stop.

the pain subsided after a few minutes and i fell back to sleep- well don't i get up and begin my morning ritual to bike to work and realize my calf muscle hurts like hell and i can't ride.
i tried stretching but it didn't work- now i'm walking with a limp, really nice

my commute is 22 miles each way and I rode into work wed and thurs,
i've been bike commuting for 4 years now and this was the first week where i'd done a back to back although i've been riding to work 2 days a week for past 6 weeks.
it's bike to work day of which i've been a big champion and my specialized roubaix that i'd shined up to ride today is sitting in my basement
