Aching is fine. Pain is not. Embrace the ache.

Yes ! Small micro tears in muscles, these will repair and get stronger with some rest. Your body is adapting. It's called DOMS . I seem to ache constantly

That's why there are rest days. You might be a bit stiff tomorrow but once you start the warm up walk it will fade away.
