If you have ever had a good, hard workout, you understand the post-workout waddle. The toes pointed in, butt out, this is the only way I can move around waddle. Your inner thighs and hamstrings are burning so bad that you'd rather remain immobile than risk the pain of moving around. Yes, the post-workout painful duck waddle.
I have started running training in preparation for a marathon in February. Since I've never run before (except in elementary school when chasing boys or when I'm chased by a bee) I had no idea how my body would react to it. I have to admit, mentally, I feel fabulous. I feel like I'm working towards a goal, and the bonus of that goal will be getting in better shape. Physically, however, is a different story. I had no idea that running intervals for three days would make my body hurt this much. Usually I get the post-workout waddle from a really hard AB class on Tuesday/Thursday, or a strength training class that Mr. Navy and I take occasionally. However, after my morning run, I got out of the car with a surprising ache in my hammie's, butt and calves--ouch!
I have been waddling all day, and doing specific stretches so I can de-duck before Mr. Navy comes home from work. Ducks may be many things, but sexy they are not.
Stay tuned on the progress--hopefully I won't resemble any animals after a few more days.
