I was freaking out about it at first. Understandably.. but, then I thought about what I'd been up to recently and came to the conclusion I was most likely suffered from kicking my own ass this past weekend by running - and running in the cold, to boot.
I've run into this before - delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) - when I first went to the gym in early 2010. Work out, feel good... then 24-48 hours later, your muscles feel like they are shredded and burn and ache like hell. This time it's the muscles in my chest and lungs, thanks to breathing harder than I am used to, and out in the nice 33 degree air for that matter.
I wasn't able to sleep until 2am and that means I got about 4 hours of sleep before work Tuesday. I was a zombie all day and barely remember what I was up to. Took lots of potent ibuprofen and got good sleep last night. Today I feel just fine, but a little sleepy.
Dawn and I swung by the mall to get our Xmas cards (we have Kits Camera print them up after she designs them) - and I had a very tasty Chinese chicken salad from Claim Jumper, pictured above. Not too bad - 430 calories of salad, 90 for dressing, which I didn't add extra. Looking at the nutrition guide there - they have a chicken broccoli alfredo which is 3000+ calories.
Sweet bippy!
Making smarter food choices lately has definitely done me lots of favors.
In other news, it looks like people I know have donated $106 towards the Jingle Bell Run/Walk this weekend in sponsorship of me. That's really awesome! Thanks all, it is for a good cause.
Alrighty, short blog this time. I have lots of stuff to get done, over and out, kaybye.
