I've been out of town for the past two days but I've done two cardio sessions since my OP. The first time, from a mixture of applications you guys suggested, I didn't start camping until late into the run. Ontop of that, the cramp was minor. Ontop of that, Ryan's advice to raise my arm up and behind my head on the appropriate side really took the edge off of it. The cramp remained but it wasn't bad at all. Before my second session, I got a bottle of gatorade (which I usually stay away from because of sugar) and drank it about an hour before my workout. No cramps at all.

Who knows whether it was placebo effect or good results, regardless, it helped. Thanks everybody. I'll keep you up to date.
