Hot, Humid and toe cramps!!!

Yesterday's workout was one I would love to forget!!! I started out at the gym and rode 3 miles on the bike.  I noticed my foot starting to get tight and a charlie horse coming on.  I ignored it and kept going.  It eased up a little bit so I continued my workout.  I did about 25 minutes of weights and then hopped on the 'mill to run.  It was about 90 degrees at the time and really didn't want to run outside.  I started walking and immediately started getting cramps in my toes again. This time it was the other foot.  I got off the 'mill, took my shoe off and was having to pull my toes the opposite direction...it was so painful and it would not go away.  I ended up leaving the gym and heading home.  I realized after I got home that it was probably due to being dehydrated.  I thought back at the last 24 hours and realized I had only had a few slices of pizza and like 2 cups of water! NOT COOL! We had been at church all morning and I didn't have time to eat breakfast before we left and only had a small lunch with minimal liquid.  I downed 2 bottles of water and decided to try to run in my neighborhood.  I started with a warm up walk and 2 minutes into the walk they started cramping again.  I stopped and took my shoes off to try to stretch them out again. It sort of worked and just decided that maybe if I ran on them it would stretch the muscles and I would be OK.  Luckily that worked and about a mile into my run I felt all loose and didn't have anymore cramps.  However, I will say that it was the most unfun run EVER!  It was so stinking hot, humid and sunny.  I thought I was gonna die.  I'm sure being dehydrated didn't help!  I ended up dumping half of my water on my head and down my shirt!  I barely squeaked out 3 miles and every step was a challenge! I know my body will adjust to the heat over time but for now I'm just miserable in the heat.  I came home and laid in the middle of my den under the fan for at least 10 minutes to cool off. So I learned a huge lesson....STAY HYDRATED!!!!!
