Video blog: Muscle soreness and topical analgesics

I woke up feeling sore.  I actually felt myself stiffening up yesterday before I went to bed.

I did wake up, eat breakfast, and walked to Rite Aid and jogged halfway back ( ~ 1.5 miles total).  It did make me feel better.

Main sore points:
~ low back (erector spinae) ~ from the bending over and standing up
~ calves (gastrocnemius) ~ from all the jumping

Minor sore points:
~ chest (pectoralis major) ~ push-ups!!!  T__T  haven't done them in forever
~ hamstrings (all of them don't like me) ~ fast butt kicks and ski jumps (on the floor)

Here's me talking a bit about the different products I'm using to alleviate my muscle soreness and stiffness.
