Fasiculations: What you are describing sounds very much like a fasiculation. They are common. There are multiple potential causes, but the vast majority of the time, there is no obvious pathology, ie they are normal.

Twitching muscle: May be muscle recovery after a long week of running. Make sure that your electrolytes are in order including magnesium, zinc, and calcium. Also make sure that you are well hydrated.
