Seriously.
I run, lift, jump, crunch, squat and lunge. I feel like crap while doing it. My muscles ache, my lungs scream for more air, and I leave sweat marks all over the gym equipment.
For several hours AFTER a work out, I am walking on air. Endorphins are an amazing drug, and I ride that high as long as possible. My muscles keep me warm in the cold, I feel lighter, more fit, and like I accomplished something fantastic.
Then I wake up the next morning, convinced I am dying. Not only do my muscles hurt, but they are sluggish. It takes some real coaxing to convince my arms to go through the holes in my shirt, and buttoning jeans? Fuhget about it. In addition, I feel actually sick. Like there are nasty toxins in my body that need to get out. My head aches, my sinuses feel swollen. I generally want to climb back in bed and hide.
So, is working out a drug? Do I have a hang over? Poor, maybe I am allergic! Do they make exercise Claritin?
