Ouch, Thursday night I did some free weights, calisthenics and the stair stepper for the first time since we moved into the new place and got everything set back up. Did I overdo it? Course I did. So now it's Sunday morning and I'm STILL pretty sore after trying just about everything (lots of protein, lots of water, lots of ibuprofen) to get the sore out. Legs are the most sore, particularly my quads on the outer side of my legs.

I rode into work on Friday, and I was a snail. Legs were really sore on the way in, and even worse on the way home - I looked like a marathon runner going up and down stairs. So nope, no awesome weekend rides to report as I didn't ride yesterday but I'm goona try to get out today and tour some bike shops in search of a rack trunk. The panniers are awesome when hauling loads, like say clothes to and from work, but with just small items in them they flop all over the place including the spokes. Yikes. No more cheap panniers.

Anyway, lessons learned. Even my back injury from a couple years ago has flared up, so I'm basically a hobbling old man right now. I'll admint, it's pretty dang amusing. Note to everyone: don't overdo it on the workouts, days of pain aren't worth it. Moderate weights for lots of reps. Whatever you do, also, don't set the stair stepper to a level "9" the first time you get on it.
