Good Pain, Bad Pain

Each day, Roger asks me what kind of pain I have, good or bad. It sounds silly, but I have two kinds of pain; the bad pain from deep in my tendons that hurts just to be, and the good pain, the soreness from working out and the strain on my muscles. My abs hurt, but they feel like I've been laughing for hours, so I go with that. My armpits hurt, my thighs hurt, my calves hurt...all good hurt. My hip pain has receded and I hardly notice it. I haven't taken Aleve for 2 days and that helps. I realize I need to keep being active and the bad pain lessens, and the good pain will eventually lessen as well.
