Youch! How many sore muscles can my legs have?

Woke up early before the alarm to go out jogging. It was a 3 mile run. I felt a little tired but SURPRISE, my hip did not hurt too much. It was a little achy and the surrounding muscles were tired, but it felt good for the most part. My right knee did hurt a little bit towards the end of the run. I completed the 3 miles in approximately 33 minutes, that's 11 minute miles! That's probably about the best I've done so far. On the walk to work, my quadriceps, calves, and glutes were very sore. It took me a few minutes longer to get to work. And as I'm sitting in my chair my leg muscles are screaming at me. *whimper* I feel very happy and confident, it's just my legs are sore. I know it's just the muscles and that they will heal so I'm not discouraged. FIRE DRILL - To make things worse, we had a fire drill this morning at work. 14 flights of stairs was very hard for me to do. When we reached the bottom and got to our assigned waiting spot, my legs were shaking badly. Grrr. I was trying not to aggrivate my muscles more today but what am I going to do? Luckily when we got back in the building, they building management handed out icee cups to everyone. That's 6.25 ounzes of pure sugar! WooHoo! Now my legs really are unhappy with me. I ate fast food for dinner. After a month of not eating it, the food tasted nasty and it made my stomach upset. I don't think I'll be eating fast food any more.
