Yep, I almost quit today. I'm really trying not to complain because it's not like I have some sort of somethingal tendononious injury that I need to recover from. Plain and simple, my muscles hurt. No matter how much I stretch and no matter how warm I get, the pain just won't go away.
But I did it. I made a deal with my legs that if I made it through all of the track practice I'd stay off them until Saturday. That means nothing but the bike and a little Yoga for the next two days...I'll take it. I was sore all through practice and even more so afterwards. I laughed to myself that my legs were kind of like whiney kids...I felt like they took on a personality of their own, crying "are we there yet?" and "I don't wanna! Whaaaaaaa!" My little "deal" with them about not running again until Saturday was the same sort of compromise I'm sure parents have to make with their kids every day. "If you eat the rest of your brussel sprouts I'll let you stay up an extra half hour!" Too funny...
I'm looking forward to a mellower next couple of days.
