Ouch

For future reference, do not do your first ab workout in awhile the day before you do the first hill repeat workout you’ve done in awhile. Monday wasn’t a scheduled workout day, but as I didn’t bike commute to work I was feeling really antsy. To burn off some energy, I did an ab workout. Last night, I did my first hill repeat workout of my training schedule. Both of the workouts went fine but my body is in pain today. My legs don’t hurt too bad I guess, but mostly just feel weak and tight. My abs though are killing me. It hurts to laugh, sneeze, and cough, but they also hurt if I even bend the wrong way when sitting down. On the bright side, my arms feel great today! That makes me wonder though. Should I just simply rest up until my legs and abs feel better or should I just do like 40 pull ups tonight so my arms hurt, putting my entire body on an even keel? The latter would make things more even…

Looking ahead, I have a 6 mile run on Saturday. I better just rest up. That 6 miler is the longest I’ve run in years, so I might need fresh arms to keep me moving forward. Yes, crawling would be much easier with fresh arms.
