Is it normal to still be this sore two days post-half?

[woowoo]

I'm still ridiculously sore from my Half on Saturday....quads, calves, even my shoulders and lower back are sore.  I feel silly - is this normal?  I'm moving quite a bit, but am in no shape to do a real workout.

Might try and get in the pool tomorrow (before a trip to the Podiatrist for my messed up foot...but that's a whole other story). 

Please tell me I'm not a total wimp.

Two days later is usually the peak of my soreness. I would make sure you're getting plenty of water and whole foods, and try to foam roll some of that lactic acid out. The pool is a great idea tomorrow.

Yes, especially your first one! I made the mistake of lying in bed most of the day after my first half and I was sore for like a week.

Yes. Two days after a hard workout is usually when I'm most sore.

I say yes, though I know nothing about running. But two days after a comp, I'm wrecked. Definitely my sorest day.

Day two is usually the worst. You should go on a walk or short run you'll feel better!
