Doing a workout even if your sore!

Today I got up form bed and took a shower. I had to get ready for work. I got to the Fire Station and thought. I am really sore today, I think I'll just go strectch out my legs. Yesterdays WOD was brutal on the legs. 20 minutes AMRAP ( As many rounds/reps as possible) of 10 deadlifts (155#) 20 box jumps (24") 30 Walking lunges (carrying 30 # dumbbells). Between the DL's (66 total) , the jumping (120), and the lunges (180) my legs/hips were destroyed.

So as I drank my morning coffee I told myself "A good stretching session is gonna make me feel better."

8 AM rolls around and I head into the weight room, I do start stretching my quads, hips etc. Then I grab my phone to see what the WOD for my box is today. Relief it's Bench Press and Pullups......I can do those even with sore legs. After I finished the prescribed WOD I added 50 Sit Ups, and worked on my Turkish Get Ups and Snatchs ( with just a plain bar).

I stretched out well after and thought, I still feel sore, but I am glad I worked out anyway. Sore muscles need to be moved.
