Well, yesterday's 15-mile run left me done in and my leg muscles tied in knots. It was all I could do to move out from under the covers when I woke up this morning.
So I did the only thing I could: I got up and went for a bike ride! After all, the only cure for sore muscles is to keep them moving.
I've never actually considered bike riding exercise - and for good reason. Compared to yesterday's more-than-half-marathon run, this morning's 1 hour, 23 minute bike ride only covered 11.54 miles and burned a measly 485 calories - that wouldn't even cover a Burger King Whopper. So this morning's, um, "activity" was only recreation, not a workout.
Fortunately (or unfortunately), as I type this I'm not eating a Burger King Whopper - I'm working my way through a plate of broccoli. If that doesn't help me live longer, at least it will seem that way!
But that's it for "exercise" today. I'm on the last day of vacation from work today, and I'm going to spend the rest of it relaxing with DVD's. Ferris Beuller's Day Off, here I come!
