Day One: Feeling the Pain

Well, I was feeling great after the morning's workout. Then about 15 hours, I started to feel some pain. To be more accurate, I felt as though my thighs had been injected with hot magma.

I know exactly how I did it, too. I had been told that your are supposed to occasionally go backward on those ellipticals. I attempted this for a few minutes, and my body was not a fan.

I could just hear my legs shrieking, "Why are you doing this to us? What is the purpose of this? Do you plan to run backwards up stairs to evade a lion?"

I know that the more I do this, the less my legs will hurt. That knowledge is cold comfort today,though. I'll probably be spending the day walking around like Ahab with a charlie horse.
