It was my first year last year and it becomes so much fun! I had the same problem like you with side cramps and that feeling with my legs.  It is good that you are working on endurance and just going for long runs everyday. What I would suggest is to stretch for at a minimum of seven minutes everyday right after your run and as for the cramps, I know it sounds really hard and at the beginning it is, but just run through them.  Try not to drink as much water while/before your run and it also helps to either sings or talk while you're running and that prevents them.  It works your diaphragm to use your vocal chords, so that is what worked for me. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!</p></blockquote><p></p>
