Toward the afternoon I finally started to stretch out and was able to walk frankenstein style a bit. But as soon as I sat down, I'd tighten up again. Eventually in the evening I walked it out by walking about a mile and a half, but it was an incredibly painful experience. Luckily I didn't have school or work that day.
