Feeling The Burn

My wife and I are house-sitting right now, and I am close enough to work that I can bike there and back.  It’s about a 7-mile trip one-way.  Yesterday was good.  The trip was harder on the way back because it was more uphill than the way to work, but overall it was refreshing and it felt great.

Different story today.  I woke up a little stiff in the legs.  A half-mile into the trip to work this morning I was heavily weighing the option of turning back and driving in.  My muscles just didn’t have any juice left.  I pressed on, knowing I should just taking it slower.

I made it to work just fine, but I know the trip back home will be tough.  It’s a good tough though.  I’d like to bike the trip all week if I can.  I’m hoping the soreness is gone tomorrow.  If it’s not, any suggestions on how to expidite the leg-rejuvenating process?

B-complex vitamins help rebuild muscle quickly. So I would advise you to run to your nearest GNC as soon as possible and pick up their “Ultra Mega Gold” vitamin supplement. The pills are huge but they work wonders. Take two per day. (yes, “Ultra Mega Gold” is thrice redundant)

Also, working sore muscles will help them loosen up. So if you’re fairly sore, just the act of biking again will help get blood to them and the soreness should subside.

Man - Scott, the muscle pro!?

You are Super Fabulous Rockin’ Platinum for the great advice. Thanks.
