I'm a little sore after my workout sometimes, I try to push it as hard as I can. Though I may be a bit achey and my muscles are tight, I refuse to take an asprin or an ibruprofen and here's why: I earned this pain. I'm not going to let some pill take it away from me. It's the reminder that I did the work, the muscles that I get later are the reward. So what if I hurt the next day, if its the day after that even better. I earned the pain, and I'm going to keep it. If it goes away, well tomorrow is another day that I can push myself even more.
