It's not going to be as interesting as Ande's but I realized when I was powerlifting 10 years ago that this is the best way for me to track and evaluate my progress so here it is.
OK, I had forgotten how much the first couple of weeks back in the gym sucked. I was extremely sore this morning and slept in, promising myself that I would swim this evening. I left work late, got home at 7:30 and actually managed to get myself to the pool in time for 8pm practice.
I took most of Dec off from weights (and some swimming and running) due to some strange travel I did (I'll explain if anyone is interested). Anyway, I started back last week, and my team was using a different pool setup LCM, and for some reason I decided to do doubles on Thurs-Fri, "to catch up from missing on Mon-Tues," (Christmas Eve and Christmas). By last Sat, my body was trashed. But I kept up, and actually lifting more seemed to help, and I think (hope) I'm over the worst of it.
Just keep plugging away, I think that's the best way over the soreness.
