Crampin My Style and Jamaica'n Me Crazy

Last night about 4am I woke up with my left cramping like crazy. Marlie came to the rescue as Dustin tried to get me to breath while he worked it out. I have not had a cramp like that since I was in undergrad. I guess I'm not going to run today again! My immediate thought is that I need potassium to combat the cramp so I would eat a banana asap. Then I realized that there was a banana in most of the frozen drinks that I had in Jamica: both the "Jamaican Smile" and the "Banana Boat" had a whole fresh banana in it. I must have eaten 2-4 bananas a day! Maybe I'm just dehydrated...Speaking of Jamaica...
We had a blast. The gym at Sandals is an outdoor gym so no air conditioning!!! Last time we went to Jamaica (Honeymoon) we worked out one time for about 5 minutes and decided it was too dang hot and that we liked it better by the beach. This time we actually enjoyed our morning run and workout. We were sweating like crazy (75-100 degrees) but we kept a bath towel handy so we didn't soak the treadmill :). Plus, we would see our new friends that we had met sometime at the resort. You might think, "why would they work out on their vacation?" For us working out isn't a chore. It's something fun that we do together. Plus, we didn't just run. Every morning and afternoon we played beach volleyball and we got involved in many of the activities on the resort like snorkling and dancing. I want to go back....
