I am definitely going to try to watch my water consumption carefully. On and off yesterday and last night, I had the distinct feeling that my calves were going to cramp. I went to bed dealing with this. I fear and hate it; I used to have problems with calf cramps as a teenager, and from back in the days of heavy drinking, most likely from lack of or depletion of key electrolytes or other vital compounds. To my knowledge, the most likely the culprits behind the cramping are dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, lack of potassium, or lack of stretching.
My wife Alice hit her first CrossFit On Ramp WOD tonight. WHEEEE! I'm psyched. It almost makes me not worry about the cramp thing.
And so I press on. And on.
