Today we did a workout that sounded easy. 50 lunges with a dumbell overhead held by one arm locked out. 50 situps. 4 rounds. I had no trouble with the situps, but the lunges were hurting me after about 15 of them in the first set. By the fourth set my upper quads were twinging when I came up (the trailing leg quad). It was more odd than anything else. So with 16 left to go I broke it with the last set of situps, and then came back to finish off the lunges, quads firing away like someone was sticking cattle prods into them. They have been sore all day, though I have been walking around to try to stretch them out. Crazy. Might have had something to do with the rounds of chips/guac, 3 (4?) scoops of Nancy's vanilla ice cream, or 2 pieces of lemon cake I had at Dante study last night. Actually now that I think about it, I would trade twinging quad-lunges for Nancy's vanilla ice cream any day, worth the pain and more.
