Comments: Today, I pushed myself too hard.  I ran 0.5 miles straight while I had the energy and walked the rest to slow my heart rate.  I lifted weights as usual.  I thought shooting more would be a good way to practice my skills, still working my muscles and avoiding having to go at such a fast pace.  However, so many repetitions made my chest hurt for over 24 hours any time I walked or exerted force.  I might not do so much at once again.  That pain was more than soreness; it was some kind of internal strain that partially had to do with the intensity of all my workouts this week.
