Even though it wasn’t that hard…I’m extremely sore today to the point where I think twice about bending down or over without holding on to something. Taking a dump requires two arms - one on the sink for support, the other on the toilet paper holder for support!!!

Am too sore and have had a 24 hour severe headache so no training today except for a brisk 20 minute walk with the dogs this morning.
