I love post workout soreness! Not kidding, I think I'm crazy. Oh wait!!! I know I'm crazy ;) maybe just a self inflicting masochist, lol. I stretch and I work on a different area the next day, if I'm lifting. But running, I just run the next day or every other day with a little less oomph. It helps release the lactic acid. Waiting to long to continue can nearly insure soreness again. At least in my own running experience.
 
Yeah lol I ran 2k on the first day
.


Whenever I get totally out of shape, I bootcamp myself.

Know what that looks like?

- Nothing but walking and sitting up straight for 2 weeks. (Sitting up straight is serious, no leaning on anything. Ever. It's waaaaay hard when you're used to using the back of a chair, couch, etc. or leaning on your knees when leaning forward. After a couple weeks, you don't even notice. But first week will be catching yourself constantly, and feeling craY sore.)
- .5 km slow jog, 5 jumping jacks, 5 sit-ups, 5 hello dolly, 5 cherry pickers, etc.
Week 3/ Week 1 of "real" exercise ;) Day 1-7. It feels stupid. Like... You've got to be kidding me? stupid. Where's the running till you puke?
- .7 km, 7 jumping hack, 7 sit-ups, etc, Week 2
- 1 km Week 3
- 1.5 km Week 4

Keep incrementing yourself up slowly... And by the end of 3mo? 5-10km running, 80 4-count push-ups, 50-100 everything else. Walking 50 miles carrying 40kilos in 2 days.

I see this boot camp nonsense on TV, where they're pounding people till they break on day 1, and just roll my eyes.

My post workout 'go to' is coconut water. I have good supply of it available for after marathons or heavy workouts when my stomach is too queasy for anything solid.

Good luck, great advice above, keep at it and check out the daily exercise thread too.
