I hit the gym yesterday with my S.O., who's been complaining that he hasn't been going to the gym because I'm doing my workouts at home. I got there early, and hopped on the elliptical machine and mindlessly set it to my normal H.I.I.T. workout, thinking I'd just take it easy on the intervals and go for a bit as a warm up before my S.O. showed up. Then I flipped on the T.V. and found this really interesting show on the History channel about Medieval Knights. Next thing I know my S.O.'s tapping me on the shoulder and I've been on the elliptical for around half an hour.
I hopped off and we headed downstairs to see if we could find two free treadmills. No go, but the ellipticals down there were totally empty, so we jumped on those. I felt I wimped out on my first session upstairs, so I pushed the intervals up a few resistance levels, and we went for another full half hour.
I was totally beat by the end of that, so after a token ab workout I took myself down to the steam room while the S.O. did his strength training.
I'm telling you, I think I'm a steam room addict. So very relaxing. So very calming.
Today I'm feeling every inch of me. I'm sore in places I didn't know I worked. I'm hoping that by the end of my workout today I'll have worked out some of the kinks, since we've got a guest coming into town for the weekend (which always means lots of walking.) Maybe I'll try some yoga today...
What is your go to fix for soreness?

usually the morning is when i hurt the worse, but by midday/afternoon i'm feeling a tad sore, but not sore enough NOT to workout.
when i have a rough workout, i have a jacuzzi bathtub at home that i fill and soak in. if i'm really bad, i'll turn on the jets. kinda of like a little pampering too! love it!
