I have run marathons for five years now, so when training and I get cramps I eat pickles and or drink pickle juice. Sounds disgusting but I've found it to work better than any cream, pill, or milk. Stay hydrated during exercise over 20 minutes long especially in the heat. Being from Texas your options were 6 am since it's still over 100 degrees at 11 pm. . Once your done exercising drink something high in carbs such as chocolate milk, a muscle milk, and beer (sounds strange but every marathon I've run free beer is offered at the finish line for carbs.) I also take as hot of a bath as I can stand before bed. Soak for a good 20 minutes, your body temp will rise and het your blood flowing and once you get out as your body cools it should return to normal sans cramps.
