One slight problem to mar the week: I've been getting bouts of cramp overnight - particularly bad on Wednesday when I was woken up with my right claf in complete spasm. It instantly relaxed when I grabbed my foot and stretched, was OK the following morning, but is a concern. I'd put it down to dehydration: 11 miles without water, then home, eat and straight to bed. Maybe though I am lacking a mineral? My diet should be supplying all the potassium, calcium and magnesium, as I believe I have a very good balanced diet, but maybe I've gone a bit low on salt? I'll be a bit more generous with the salt and pepper on my salads and I'll see how it goes.
A slight cutback next week, ready for my trip to Club La Santa in Lanzarote for my marathon training week - can't wait!
