The day after the train collision

8/13/13

I should have started this post earlier in the day.
I woke up this morning amazed at the fact that I had parts and pieces to my body that I didn't know about.  I mean 50+ years and I'm still discovering muscles I never knew I had.  They never hurt before so they were ignored...

The day after strength training is like the day after a train collision.  Did I mention that train collided with me?  yes, I was aching in places way up, way down, way god knows where.  I couldn't stand straight, I could not move my neck, and I was so sore, so tight, and so in pain.  My friends tell me "oh that's good, that's good pain"  are they crazy? what good is there in pain?  I wonder if they collided with a train before.

Needless to say there was no excersise today, even if I wanted to I couldn't.  I had visions of going to the gym, doing some slow elliptical (as you're suppose to switch from weights to cardio) and perhaps some laps in the pool then pretty much park myself in the hot tub, but none of that happened.  My living room couch happened instead.  All day long...

I am optimistic, NOT, that tomorrow will find me doing some cardio, some swimming and some hot tubing.
