Why do Mondays always seem to be no good? While my day at work wasn’t all too bad for a Monday, it seemed worse because my right leg has an irritating pain on the back calf right below the knee =( . I fear it is the start of tendinitis, and why it cropped up I am not sure. I know it hurt yesterday; but for the life of me I am not sure why it is flaring up on me now. I am going to bed early tonight with an ice pack on it in hopes that tomorrow morning it will be better. It seems to feel relieved for a while if I stretch the leg really good and stay off of it, so that is what I plan to keep doing until it’s subsided. To many times in the past have I ignored similar dulling pains only to receive over-training injuries.
If the pain is still as irritating as it is today I’m going to look into what could be causing or did cause this problem to spring up so I don’t have a repeat issue in the future. Part of me thinks it is due to the fact it was raining and nasty out. I think it threw off my stride and form enough to do some damage… that and it is time to get new shoes too, which didn’t help things either.
When I got home I decided to go to Wal-Mart and get a ton of cleaning supplies because my apartment is past due for a major cleaning… but getting the needed supplies and actually carrying through with the plans of using them are two separate issues. At this point I think I’ll start that mini project tomorrow. In any event, I made some great headway on chapter six of my C++ book today and learned more about how the Subversion server works.
