RE: [RC] Running, OT - Karen Franklin

Well, since I brought up the subject, I’ll start.  As a newbie without a horse, I take weekend dressage lessons.  I have a full time career and a husband and two boys, so you can imagine that I don’t get much time to myself.  I include my family in my exercise after work – they’re my encouragement too.  Basically, I have to keep up with a 7 and 5 year old on their bikes through my neighborhood, going about 2.5 miles every other night.

Here are a couple of my questions.  I wear heels at work – nothing really high, 2-3”, but I was wondering if they are what’s causing my calves to cramp.  My next question:  I run in intervals (can’t do a steady run yet), taking breaks by actively walking.  By the end of my 2 miles, no matter how much walking rest I’ve had, my throat is so dry it hurts to breathe.  Does anyone know what I can do about this?  I’m only away from the house for about 30 minutes and don’t really want to drag a water bottle with me, but I will if that is the only solution.  Thanks.

Karen
