My big sister told me about one her of experiences in basic training that I’ve never forgotten even though this was about 30 or more years ago when she told me. She said that they lied to her in basic training. “They told me that things would get easier, but after three days things were still hard,” she said with a straight face. She always could brighten up my day with just a few words, and even now this memory still brings a smile to my face when I think about it. Three days is certainly enough time for fish to get smelly, but after three days of working out, it is still going to be hard.
So, I’ve repeated the same jog/walk workout for three days in a role now. I was sore in the legs, butt, lower back, and more from the very first workout. Still sore, but it is the good kind of soreness though. The kind that brings the gains, not the kind that signals you’re injured or stop before you get hurt. I would love to say that my savings from having once been a well conditioned runner has kicked in, but that’s not the case. Today’s workout wasn’t any easier or better than the previous two. I did consider taking an additional lap…so, maybe that is a little progress. By the way, I dismissed the additional lap idea almost as soon as it ran across my mind.
I am planning on changing things up tomorrow. Not smelly or hard, just time to hit some different angles.
