Speaking of sore... man, I really paid for my workouts last week. What started as a pair of slightly sore hamstrings Wednesday morning turned into insanely sore hams, glutes, and inner and outer thigh muscles by the end of the day. The only thing above my knee what wasn't aching was my quads, oddly enough. Everything else? Huuurt. I was totally walking funny, I wasn't happy, it just sucked. By the time I went to bed on Wednesday night, I was feeling so awful I decided to can the Thursday morning treadmill class, because there was no way I was going to be able to run in the morning. None. Instead, I went swimming Friday evening after work.

I don't know if it was the time, or the swimming, or what, but by Saturday morning, I felt fine. 100% again. It was fabulous. So I went spinning. I didn't over do it too much, but enough that by Sunday evening (after an afternoon of walking), my right quad felt totally locked up. Yes, just the right side. The left one? Fine. I don't even know how that works, to be honest with you. Maybe my right side is stronger, so I was using it more? Or perhaps, I'm just weird.

I went swimming again last night - my intention was to do the swimming class at the gym, but when I arrived, I found out it had been canceled. Oh well. I was there, so I figured I might as well swim anyways. I did put in an abbreviated workout (30 minutes instead of a full hour), but the quad was still kind of twingey and I didn't want to overdo it. This morning it felt better, and I actually ran on it without any problems this morning. Now, all there's left to do is cross my fingers that the leg class didn't kill me (which reminds me: who ever invented wall squats? Needs to be shot), and I'll be able to put in a decent workout tomorrow morning. As long as I'm not too sore, I think it'll be entirely doable. We shall see.
