Yesterday was productive. I was the only one at the midday adult class (and I was late because of work), so it was free mat class. I was able to get some requirements done (poomsaes, kicks, some self defense, sit ups, push ups). It was a productive little hour. It felt good to keep my commitments. But last night, just as I was going to sleep, I had the worse leg cramp of my life. Actually, this was the first real leg cramps I have ever had. I felt faint and nauseous with the pain. I broke out in a sweat. Then I panicked because I was on call. There was no way I could even get down stairs, or drive with such cramps. I hobbled to the bathroom for some Tylenol and the pain finally eased off after 20 minutes. I knew exactly which muscles were cramping, my adductors from those round house kicks with the big blue target. It was weird to visibly see the muscle spasms in my inner thigh.
Today, I did no requirements. I was very gentle with myself because of the fear that that pain would hit again. Class again tomorrow. I' staying hydrated and drinking coconut water for the potassium.
