My Version Of Restless Leg Syndrome
Went running today. Went for a long run, a very long run along the Boise Greenbelt. This training run was and will be the longest run I do for the Robie Creek Half Marathon coming up on April 21 2007. I ran for 2:29:28.41 - how’s that for detail (cough*anal retentive*cough)?
Awhile back I wrote about losing 2 pounds in 2 hours by running for 2 hours. I weighed in bofore and after today’s run and lost 4 pounds from my two and a half hour run, from 175.2 lbs. to 171.2 lbs. As I have mentioned before, this type of weight loss isn’t expected to “stick”. I can alomost guarantee that today’s weight loss won’t last long, I have already drank 30+ ounces of water and eaten a decent sized lunch.
Getting back to the title of this little blurb, restless leg syndrome. Often times after an extreme exercise effort like today’s long run, my muscles will twitch when I am just sitting down or at night when I am sleeping. My verison of RLS includes the calf muscle being “sucked” in when I touch in. It’s a wierd sentation when I touch the back of my calf muscle and my leg responses by pulling in the muscle. Like I said, this is my version of restless leg syndrome and not the official version which is actually a neurological disorder.
