Ibuprofen is my friend.

I'm having trouble moving the last two days.
The morning after the big storm that ended bootcamp early, our instructor ran us through what would have been the previous day's workout. She calls it base building. I call it pure hell.
All of the paperwork for the class states that you must come with a workout mat and a set of hand weights that are at least 5lbs each. I had a set of 5lb'ers, so I brought those on monday. My friend, who took this in July as well, quickly pointed out to me that while in writing it says 5lbs are acceptable, she really doesn't like people using the 5lb weights. She suggested I get a set of 8lb hand weights. As I had to work on monday and was busy that evening as well, I called my mom when I got to work and asked if she had time to run to Dunham's and grab me a set of 8lb weights.
So, tuesday morning, armed with my 8lb weights- which are really heavy- I arrived at bootcamp. We did some warm-up stuff and stretching and then moved into shoulder and arm work. Oh. My. God. The shoulder stuff was tough, and then the biceps work, and by the time we hit the triceps stuff, I was hurting. After all this, she decides that we should learn the proper position for push-ups. I got down on the ground and my arms were so sore already, that they were shaking while I attempted a few push-ups. The core work we did wasn't as bad, but my arms are still sore today.
This explains why I cringed this morning when she told us to pick up our weights about half-way through the workout. I am hurting- my coworkers noticed that I was moving a little slowly today. I got home and sat down on the couch and it took awhile to convince myself to get up and shower.
Well, I'm almost done with one week. Once I get myself out of bed, the whole early morning thing hasn't been too bad. Of course I go to sleep at about 9:30 every night. But, I really can't wait until this base building stuff is done. And until that happens, ibuprofen is my friend (600mg every 4 hours on the dot).

Update:
There is a new committee at my work called the Wellness Committee. Today they held a Health Fair for all employees. Lots of pamphlets and info from the health insurance company and stuff about dealing with stress, plus healthy snacks. But, they also had 10 minute chair massages that you could win. And I won one! It was heaven. (well, actually it kind of hurt in some areas where he used a lot of pressure, but afterward it felt great) And I can now move my arms like a normal person again! Yeah for free massages!
