I've been doing the Couch 2 5K running program, and today should be my last day of week 2. But on wednesday, on top of my running I decided to do my strength training workout for my legs. Bad idea. I only got halfway through, and I woke up yesterday with extremely sore legs. Like, walking was a struggle. I went to class and BARELY hobbled up the 2 flights of stairs to my class. Today it's a little better, but I can't run today. Any suggestions on what might help? Also, did I just overwork my muscles?
Oh, and I went over my points yesterday. I had a few drinks with a friend of mine and I stayed on point, but it was the food I ate that made me go WAY over. Like I ate the rest of my flex points, and into today to (I'm starting at 26 instead of 29.) I don't know what came over me. I feel bad, although I remember the positive thinking worksheet I got at my first meeting, so I'm trying to tell myself I just made a BIG mistake, and just get back on the wagon.
I'm payin for it now. Not only do my legs still hurt, but I can't do my walk, I can't run, I can barely get to class, and I HAVE to stay on/under point till sunday. Cool.
