RED SOX & RAYS MOVE ON

The Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox both won yesterday and now will meet for the AL Championship starting Friday in Tampa. I hope the Rays win this series, they beat the Red Sox in the AL East now they will have to beat them out in the AL Championship. In the NL the Dodgers and Phillies series will start Thursday in Philadelphia. Fellow blogger Andrew spent the night last night and he was working on who he was going to pick in this weeks college football pick em contest, he doesn't wan to fall into the cellar. It is going be a bit cooler today in Colonial Heights with a high of only 70 expected and it's going to drop back into the low 40's tonight. My PAIN index has gone down this morning because I had a good nights sleep and the headache I had yesterday went away. Also Lee has already sent his picks in for this week so he won't be called out again on Mickey's Place. MICKEY

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness - What Causes Muscle Pain After Exercise? I THIN I HAVE THIS SOMETIMES

Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) describes a phenomenon of muscle pain, soreness or stiffness that is felt 12-48 hours after exercise, particularly at the beginning of a new an exercise program, after a change in sports activities, or after a dramatic increase in the duration or intensity of exercise.

This muscle pain is a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process1 that leads to greater stamina and strength as the muscles recover and build hypertrophy).

This sort of muscle pain is not quite the same as the muscle pain or fatigue you experience during exercise. This delayed pain is also very different than the acute, sudden pain of and injury such as muscle strains and sprains, which is marked by an abrupt, specific and sudden pain that occurs during activity and often causes swelling or bruising.

The delayed soreness of DOMS is generally at its worst within the first 2 days following the activity and subsides over the next few days.

Delayed onset muscle soreness is quite common and quite annoying, particularly for those beginning an exercise program or adding new activities. A beginning exerciser who bikes 10 miles, followed by push-ups and sit-ups is likely to experience muscle pain and soreness in the next day or two.
