The Monotony Has Begun
Definitely quite sore from the whole lifting thing yesterday, but I did get a preview of the pain during my squat and clean reps, so I can't be completely surprised. Nonetheless, I'll probably lift again tomorrow and then take some time for my muscles to rebuild themselves over the weekend. Given my weakened state, I think it would be a good idea to lift three times a week instead of two, so I'll lift on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next week.
15 minutes on the recumbent bike today, and then a switch to the elliptical when I became frustrated with my low heartrate and very painful hamstrings. I spent 45 minutes on the elliptical with an average heart rate of 160, followed by a minute on the erg at my desired 5K pace. I'm still upset that I didn't PR this year, and all of this aerobic base building is not helping me release my frustration. I'm hoping some difficult time on the erg will help.
