Before then I had always given my leg little tests and then tried to cheat on the results - folly.<BR/><BR/>Things take as long as they take.<BR/><BR/>Have faith - it will come right.Highway Kindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16975008160010208824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9281910.post-1118757434829378652005-06-14T14:57:00.000+01:002005-06-14T14:57:00.000+01:00Beanz re calf - I am more aware now of my calves a...Beanz re calf - I am more aware now of my calves and what I do is this ...<BR/>when the calf starts to tighten and I am warm (eg been moving for more than 5 mins) STOP locate and leaning post. Stretch the calf for a count of FIVE, swap legs, count of five again and repeat 3-4 times with each leg. Each time I swap the muscle seems looser. If I leave it too long before you stretch or you stretch too long and deep I get a sort or hot burn stretch ache (if that makes sense!) but doing a few short stretches helps quicker and easier and does not hurt. I think that Paula has a physio friend called Geard Hartmann (or similar) who suggests a similar approach.<BR/>Anyway well done for getting out there! Now rest and ice to ease the muscles and take care!Evil Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04131698742259886461noreply@blogger.com
