Oh My God, I'm Sore

The alarm went off at 5:15am on Day Three and I stumbled quickly out of bed, hurrying into my clothes before I could change my mind.  I knew it was colder this morning but I hoped to be on my bike before I realized that I didn't really feel like going.  
When I put on my sweatshirt, I was stunned to realize that my arms were killing me! Darn kickboxing class last night...that I taught....and darn that Mark whose one request when he'd asked me to fill in for him was that I work arms.  Well, I didn't need my arms to pedal my bike, so off I went.
I was very happy to discover that I passed the point where I'd turned around on the first day before my legs began to burn.  Yay for muscle burn! At least that's something.  Since I only have about half an hour to bike in the morning, I see how far I can get in fifteen minutes, then I turn around and try to beat that time on the way back.  My ride home took eleven minutes.  So far so good.  
By now my legs were burning as much as my arms.  
It seemed like a good time to work more on my abs.

This is the workout I went through as soon as I managed to get up the stairs.
25 Reverse Lunges
50 Russian Twist Crunches
15 Squats with a 10lb Dumbbell
15 Half Seated Leg Circles
15 Superman Roll with Pike Crunch
15 Squats with a Twist (holding a bo staff above my head)
40 Super Slow Crunches
With my stomach hurting now as well, I figured that was good for today.

My whole body is hurting.  And I love it.  
I haven't noticed any changes in my body yet, but I already feel stronger going through my morning workouts so I think I'm on the right track. Bring on Day Four!
