Going to take my mountain bike out for a whirl this afternoon. Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend.

ok never went for the bike ride.. Its Tuesday around 6am and only my shoulders are sore. I have big time DOMS though. Usually hits me late on day 2 or even day 3. How about you guys? Do you get the delayed muscle soreness? I seem to be recovering fairly well though most of the time as long as I stay close to 100 grams of protein a day. Trying to go get motivated to get my long cardio in right now before work. Someone come kick me in the arse =P I think I'll just go to work early and do it this afternoon. I'm feeling way lazy this morning. My husband was suppose to wake me up at 4am so I could make it to my spin class but we both slept in. I guess we stayed up to late. Watching that new Prison Break series on Fox. The guy playing Michael Scofield is hot!

DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness). This happen to me if I really hit it hard. I had a killer leg work out on Saturday. Sunday I was pretty sore and Monday was even worse. Glutamine in supposes to help. And I do get lots of protein. I don't mind DOMS occasionally, but it should not happen all the time. I will just "adjust" the leg work out that caused it.

Ha.. DOMS seems to just be a way of life for me. Unless it lasts more then a day or two I don't usually worry about it too much. Dana tells me with his evil grin to "wipe some grass on it." He got that from his old football coach. I guess everytime the players complained about their suicides or whatever drills he was torturing them with he would use that line. I have not started with the glutamine yet. Do you really think it is worth it for us? Maybe I'll add it in after I hit 6 months in a few weeks. I know for a fact the additional protein helps. My hair stopped falling out and I think it might have been due to the extra increase in protein. I also seem to recover faster now.

Good workout Stayce. One thing that I find weird, is that if I am working out daily I do not get DOMS. If I take two days off in a row, bam, the second day it hits me, but not too bad. I do not lift heavy right now, so that could be a reason. I am waiting to hit goal, then I may go heavy, maybe not, moderate weight mod-high reps are really working well for me, my body is responding very well.
