Nike Human Race 10k

What a great day for a race!

Lukes Locker put on a great free show this morning for The Woodlands runners.  I would've run further than a 10k this morning without an organized event, but I decided to race the 10k since we had a course and runners and post race party. 

I was having a good run until about mile 6 when my left calf muscle decided to lock up/tighten up/cramp on me.  Driving home I remembered that I woke up in the middle of the night during the week with the calf cramping up on me.  I was able to avoid a full out cramp but I guess it was enough for it to act up again while I was running.  Despite the cramp, I ended up running an unofficial 48:17.  Post race, they had a live band, coffee and breakfast, and even massages. 

I will most likely skip running in Huntsville tomorrow depending on how the calf feels tomorrow morning.  I'd like to get out there as Rocky Raccoon 25k is November 7th but if its bothering me there's no sense pushing it risking injury.
