6:00 AM Golf followed by a 3 mile Run

Woke up at 4:45AM this morning to make it to a 6:15 tee time. Made an egg sandwich for breakfast and stopped at Starbucks for a tall iced Americano. The egg sandwich was amazing. Simply a wholewheat toast with an over easy egg on top (2 egg whites) and a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
I played 9 holes and was done by 7:30. It was a perfect time to play. A little chilly at first but was done before the sun really came out. I no doubt had a great time, can't wait to do it again! Now time for a 3 mile run then work!!
P.S. My lower limbs are really sore! My hamstrings, calves, gluteus , and quadriceps. Running will definitely help loosen up the sore muscles. You become sore after a workout due to the lactic acid build up after an intense workout. Lactic acid comes from the glycogen stores in the muscle. Muscle cells convert glucose or glycogen to lactic acid. The lactic acid is then taken up by the mitochondria and used as fuel. Intense training makes a huge difference in your performance. The more you train your muscles the more you are increasing your mitochondrial mass, meaning more energy production overall (more energy production = fat oxidation/fat burning)
