That mind-numbing sore

I know that pain. Been feeling that since Day 1. The body has been painfully reminding me ever since I woke up yesterday morning (and several time during the night) that I definitely pushed too hard on day 1. Waking up this morning I'm still feeling the pain from day 1 and now all the new pains from day 2's Plyometrics routine.

Thankfully due to my (long since past) history with long distance running I know my body's cues with regards to legs and cardio so when it gave the signal to dial back a little bit I recognized it. This is good because I'm still having a hell of a time with lifting my arms after day 1. Overdoing it the same way during Plyo would have meant blowing out my legs and the inability to walk today.

Make no mistake, Day 2 was no joke. Plyometrics is the "mother of all P90X workouts" and the name is well deserved. I had to push it hard, but smart. I'm feeling what I believe to be just the right amount of pain from it. Now I just need to get rid of the excess still left over from the day before.
