Such a hard trail run, too hot and humid. Kudos for getting out there John!

Thanks Dani! Yes, so much harder running in the heat and humidity, but it's got to be done...

Hello John 😊

Hey Sam's Dad! 😁

Shame about the cramp as it looked like a peaceful run, maybe the heat and humidity caused it? I thought you would have tried to squeeze in an ice cream somewhere!!

That calf cramp hit me on Sunday morning and it is still a bit painful today...! Yes, I think it was a combination of the heat making me sweat and loose salt, plus overloading the muscles. When you start to research muscles cramps you find out that there is no consensus on the cause! If I had come across an ice cream I would have stopped! When I got to the station (Moro St. Hachiko Line, diesel trains...!) I found there was only 1 train an hour and the next train was arriving in 4 minutes! So, a happy ending.
