Oh man, cross training is really kicking my butt. Since I can’t run right now, I’ve been concentrating on other ways to workout. I was trying to show my husband a new exercise I learned last night and I couldn’t even go through the motions. My butt and hamstrings are absolutely screaming for mercy.
Isn’t it funny how the after burn of working out makes you feel like you worked out really hard? Or am I the only one who feels like the more I hurt afterward, the better my workout must have been? (The term “hurts so good” comes to mind) The only problem with this theory is that sometimes I lack the commitment to head back to the gym on the days that I’m already sore. How do you handle the soreness and working out through it?

I love the soreness I feel after I workout for exactly what you said. It reminds me that I’m doing something good for myself.
I’m trying to force myself to do weights every other day. I tend to go overboard and do it every day but I know you need a day to recover since that’s when your muscles rebuild adn GROW. So that day off is my time to recover and is usually enough time to recover from most of the achiness.
