I hit a wall pretty hard the other night.
After a week solid of jogging every day, I had an incredibly long work day, clocking in at more than 14 hours. On top of that, I had another 8:30am shift the next day (this was Mother's day weekend, Armageddon in the restaurant world). Even if I had been able to exercise, it would not have been advisable. It took most of my energy just to make it through those 2 days. So I missed one day since I had no opportunity and the next since I was utterly exhausted. My legs were like stilts and refused to be moved very far.
I initially had plans to go jogging anyway and just push past the pain. No dice, as my legs were far too sore. Even after a long series of stretches, I couldn't coax any action from them. Probably just as well, since I could have torn something from overdoing it. Don't worry, even after missing those two days, I jumped right back in the fray the next day with a steady jog, and it felt great!
