Shoulders, Triceps and Feeling a Bit "Pec-ish"

It is so classic. After working a NOLS course, coming back to lifting is always a bit rough. A NOLS course is a physical endeavor, but for me as a paddler it is often a lot of light to moderate exercise over the course of an eight hour day. And certainly living outside also takes a bit out of you.

But, coming back to an intensive weight training regimen and getting back into it is always a bit painful. Poking my chest with my finger, I can feel the muscle soreness from a workout two days ago. We jokingly call this soreness feeling a bit "pec-ish". Hopefully I will be able to walk tomorrow after my leg workout?! The soreness is of course normal, expected and evidence that I indeed worked hard the other day.

Today's quote is from Aeneas Williams' NFL Hall of Fame induction speech from yesterday:

"Begin with the end in mind. Die empty."
