Chocolate weekend and an unwilling knee

Cheers,
I wasn't out and about this whole weekend. Yesterday I just cleaned my room, watched "Il mare" at youtube, pampered myself with a looooonng bath, pondered the question of what to do with my life in general and indulged in mountains of chocolate (pudding + lion bars).

Today we finally had, would you believe it, sunshine. Unfortunately I must have twisted my left knee this night, so I can barely walk. It's the weirdest thing. I can only make it straight without pain, when there is no weight on it and I don't bend my foot. The pain is in the hollow of the knee, so I think some of the bands are in the wrong place or contract the whole time. This is really unfortunate, since I had no chance to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. Argh. Has anyone of you had this problem and knows what to do about it?

Tuesday will be a talk about nutrition for our running seminar which I will attend. Should be interesting.

Keep Running!

Finally...

the spasm in my left calf is gone. It has been there for 4 (FOUR!!!) days.

Even though I ran on Sunday. Even though I spend hours in the bathtub. Even though I took 600 mg of magnesium per day. Even though I massaged. Even though I stretched. The spasm stayed.

When I woke up this morning, it was finally gone. I can move my leg without pain. And I feel great. As a treat I took the stairs to get to my class room which is on 3rd floor. This will hopefully lead to a smaller behind. ;-P

Even better the sun is shining, though we've got -17°C = 2° F. But still the sun is shining and I'm free of pain and I've got the most amazing book to read.

"The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. This book is absolutely amazing and makes me want to sit in a comfy armchair at Starbucks with the Premium Hot Chocolate coming all through the day, reading and musing on the ideas presented. I absolutely love books like this and Starbucks is the perfect place to read them. Forget libraries, Starbucks is a whole lot better. (No I don't work for Starbucks, am payed by them or got shares.)

KEEP LEARNING!!
