Last Sunday’s hike has taken me 3 FULL days to recuperate and taking a gentle yoga class to relax and loosen up sore muscles didn’t seem to help me. Maybe it did, I suppose things could have been much worse. I have a newfound respect for those who hike and their core strength.
The interesting part was the location. It’s a similar hill that I ride, in fact I could see people riding up the hill I had rode myself days earlier. It was the first ride I took after surgery. I was pretty proud of how good I felt riding up and my ability to recuperate relatively quickly.
Not so much for walking up the trail. I had done the hike several times in years past and really enjoyed the scenery. All was true for the Sunday hike, but I didn’t account for quite the degree of sore CORE muscles, forming blisters on my feet and general fatigue.
Yes, I still have several months of recuperation left!
