Spring Has Sprung & DOMS - #runforsteem Weekly Run Entry

Greetings! During today's run of 4.3 miles, I definitely was getting plenty of reminders that, the elusive season (after being Snowed in LAST week) known as Spring is finally here! Just look at these tender buds, that will soon boast some beautiful flowers...
![20180329_162113.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmR6fnbE18sLKMLE8rFdAB9tzr6fp6se9QB5J5RcGrRvyW/20180329_162113.jpg)
My header photo is me after my run stretching and I rather liked how it turned out so I made it sort of a b&w photo for fun. 

My run today started out rather "ouchy" as I am experiencing DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness from my lunge workout on 3/27. I was inspired to write a little about DOMS today given my background in exercise science (actually majored in it.) It's easy to let the years role by and not practically apply your education to everyday life.  

I'm sure most people are aware of being sore from exercising as being a normal occurrence. Yes, it is VERY normal. I thought I would take a little time in this post to discuss what's a normal sore & what's not.  


DOMS is normal after an intense workout or doing some sort of exercises you haven't done for a while. You can expect this good kind of sore for 2-4 days **following** when you did the workout. I would say that 48-72 hours is a normal average but anything more than 96 hours or four days you should be concerned if your body has not made a significant come back from the workout that made you so sore. 

**There's some things you're going to want to do during the peak of DOMS/ your most sore period:**
1. DO engage in some light to moderate intensity cardio rhythmic exercise like walking, cycling, swimming, or jogging. It is tempting to not do anything because you're "too sore." Today my lighter intensity run though it did start out "ouchy" really helped to flush the lactic acid out of my legs and subsequently, the sore feeling. 
2. Get a massage if possible. I do get massages once a month and getting one last night helped tremendously. Let your therapist know you're sore and why. 
3. Drink lots of liquids!! Focus on the water!!

My run today helped a LOT. I did 4.3 miles. Heres the stats:
![20180329_161417.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNLoKd85ZMwV1ndQ73XdoA7DCsGiQb5axxVxMDGyHpaZK/20180329_161417.jpg)
![20180329_161303.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUEJZhPhBFCqcwefEDWUjzD3g4ZTpQFpUphVwtTYcCUFS/20180329_161303.jpg)

By time I was about half way through my hamstrings and gluts had loosened up significantly and the soreness was barely noticeable while going up this little, but kinda steep hill.

That'll about wrap things up. I was definitely thankful for a warmer day which meant NO asthma symptoms & I could wear short sleeves and shorts.  This run will qualify for @jumowa #runforsteem initiative.  Please see his post below for all the rulez:

Hello Spring! I'm a fan of using some lower intensity cardio to help alleviate a good set of DOMS, too. Hard to get going sometimes, but pretty much always feels much better when you're done!

Beautiful pic of you Chelsea! I experienced DOMS as I was teaching my spin class this morning, I could not go all out. My boyfriend will experience DOMS tomorrow from biking today. It’s all the rage right now!
