The following blog post is brought to you by the letter "S" for soreness and socks (more on that to follow) and the number "2" for obvious reasons, but for my slow friends, it's because today was the second day of my training.
I woke a bit sore this morning. I don't know if it was because of the workout yesterday or because of my less than great mattress. Since the pain was mostly in my back, I'm inclined to believe it was the latter. However, my legs were a little sore today, especially in my hips. That could also be due to the not so great office chair I sit in all day while I'm editing. I know- so many questions, so few answers. I'll have a better idea Thursday after day 3.
I also decided to pick up the first pieces of my running ensemble today, socks. I don't know if the ones I got are exactly the type that were recommended to me by my brother but I bought a couple different kinds to try them out and see which ones I like for now. I tried out some Nike Dri-Fit socks today. I hate Nike's shoes, but they sure can make apparel. The socks were great, except for the little plastic piece that held the socks together. Fucking thing wouldn't break and being that I was at the gym, I didn't have any scissors on me. Long story short a brawl ensued in the locker room between me and that damn plastic piece. After a tough battle, I came out the victor. Just another victory over the challenges that await me.
Today was an "off" day in the couch to 5k plan so I just did a brisk walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Even that felt like it kicked my butt a bit. I definitely have my work cut out for me, but then again as my mom says, nothing worth doing is easy.

Keep it going! You might try swapping that "not so great" office chair for a fitness ball. You will feel a bit goofy but it does wonders for your back and hips.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I'll do that for work because I'm doing a temp gig only, but I will give it a shot for when I'm home.
