Could the bruise be a result of the pounding??
I can´t guess another reason why!

Cramps happen. In cold weather it could be from your muscles not being warmed up enough, or nutritional issues.
The bruising can be from the massage.
I would stretch and maybe use a dowel or the stick to self massage, and apply some heat to loosen the muscle. :D

jaymac- pay attention to this. I cramped badly for 15 years and sometimes would have a black and blues as a result from long painful cramps. One of these bad cramps brought what was probably the true problem to light- deep vein thrombosis. The DVT was just brushed off as bad cramp soreness until I had this lung congestion that would not go away. After a group run where the slowest runner in the group had to wait for me on a hill and all the grief he bestowed on me we figured it out- pulmonary embolism. A couple of days in intesive care, a week hospital stay and now daily coumadin will protect me from this potentially fatal condition. Genetically predisposed Factor 8 to clots.
In addition to coumadin I have a script for quinine which I use after long workouts/races.
I still have minor cramps in my hands and feet particularly when I swim but the drugs do their job. Just something to think about if you cramp and bruise as a result.

i was warming up for a 5 mile race sunday morning; it was cold and windy. half way thru my warm-up run, my calf cramps up. :eek: (i've NEVER had this happen before). so i stretch it out, and jog some more; the more i warmed it up, the better it felt.
i run the race (PR in nasty conditions); calf felt fine. i cool down, then go to the post race area to go get a massage. i tell her my right calf is cramping; she then proceeds to POUND on it for 30 sec's to work it out.
all day it's tight, and i take a low dose muscle relaxer when i go to bed; well i wake up the next day with a HUGE bruise on my calf. i have not run on it since sunday; and plan on resting it 'til thursday, but the bruise is what i'm questioning.
thoughts??? :confused:
