You overtrained last week.
A Saucy Wench
Why did I not feel overtrained?
I have become Death, the destroyer of electronic gadgets

Why is it sideways?
Was it all a dream?
I've got a fever...
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
You are sore. That is feeling overtrained

It's easy to make fun of beer-oriented activities like slow-pitch softball, but things like that can be murder to a distance runner. We may run lots of miles, but we are not used to sudden sprints from dead stops. Flag football is even worse (backpedaling as a DB, anyone?) and it messed up both of my hammies. Exercise caution.
Just because running is simple does not mean it is easy.
Relentless. Forward. Motion. <repeat>
Ostrich runner
Ditto to this. Soccer nailed me. Pulled a quad. Zero on the fun scale.

I felt ridiculously sore after this season's first kickball practice. When you do another sport you are using different muscles or using your usual muscles in new ways. If I can make myself sore with another sport, I take it to mean that I've been neglecting some form of exercise and welcome the change. On the plus side, you'll find that after a game or two, the soreness will stop and your existing conditioning will keep you energetic when everyone else is ready to head home for the day.
