School Stories: Part 31

Today was the first basketball practice of my senior season, and it was pretty rough. I trained a lot more this offseason than any other year, but it was still tough. We ran a lot, learned our first new play, and ran new drills, which was a bit tough but manageable. It was what happened at the end that was bad. We finish every practice with 2 minute runs, which is basic routine. But it must be because it was the first practice or something, but I got a massive cramp in both my calves. Like, this cramp was so bad that coach saw it from across the basketball court. The dent in my right calf was huge, probably going halfway into my leg. It was painful. Gladly, a teammate had this electrolyte thingy, and it literally made me feel better in like 10 seconds. It was a miracle worker. Now, I'm not one to get cramps that often, but man oh man was it bad this time. Oh well, stuff like that happens, especially when you're out of shape.
