My problem with too-frequent workouts

I ran 3.58 miles last night, in the dark. Then I swam 800 yards today with Team RWB. I was hoping to get a half-mile in, but knew that goal was in jeopardy when my feet started cramping within the first 50 yards, despite my efforts to stay well hydrated today. I'm pretty sure it was because of having run last night.

I was able to nurse myself through the entire workout that our "not-trainer" left for us, but definitely was not doing all the kicking I normally would have, and on some laps had to switch strokes in order to finish them at all. During the last lap the cramping was so bad I couldn't fathom doing the extra four lengths it would take to reach my goal. Still, I'm pleased for working out in the pool, and look forward to my next chance to dive back in.
