HELP! Calf Cramps
Ok ladies - I love all the support everyone has given to - well - everyone and now I need some help. I'm a commuter biker, runner, hiker and I lift weights. My ride home from work everyday is 6 miles uphill - about 1300'+/-. (OK Everything in Albuquerque is either uphill 1000'+/- or down hill 1000'+/- wheeee) I noticed on Tues that my left calf started feeling like it would cramp. By Wed night I was massaging the heck out of it. Both calves are feeling tight and this morning during my run my right calf tried to cramp. Anyone got any ideas why they're doing that and what I can do to prevent it? I do stretches - whole body - with focus on the calves right now and I don't wear pumps or heels so thats not an issue. I do have to be careful with recovery foods because I'm gluton intolerent so I can't tolerate most complex carbs. Open to any ideas/suggestion/similar experiences! And thanks in advance for the help & support!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
