Well, there's the "pain" of pushing your body to a new threshold of performance and there's the pain that comes when something isn't working. The latter usually is my body's way of telling me I'm trying to do too much of the former. It's a tough balancing act. Frankly, I'm dealing with it by spinning a lot more in an easy gear, stretching more, and worrying less about setting the new land speed record. These days I'm just trying to keep my body from getting beat up. This cat shudders to think of how many lives he's already used up.
