As I figured, my shoulders and the base of my neck (on the back) are sore now from yesterday's strength training. I knew that my shoulders would be sore, but I didn't think that the base of my neck would be.

I couldn't do the leg presses before the turbo kickboxing class. I was kinda cutting it close with the class time and there was some person who just sat on the leg press machine, watching the tv instead of actually doing the exercise. Well, he was kinda...he would alternate between doing one rep and staring at the tv for several seconds. I didn't feel like waiting for him. I was going to do the leg press machine after the class, but I forgot. I think my new pet peeve is when people have no gym ettiquette/manners. I can go on and on about what constitutes as bad gym ettiquette/manners, but I won't get into that.

The usual/regular turbo kickboxing teacher wasn't in today so he had a someone substitute for him. The substitute teacher was good, but not as good as he was. He mentioned awhile ago that it was good for the students/customers to work with different teachers to break up the boredom and any plateaus. If that's the case, I'll accept that idea in his class where substitute teachers come in occassionally, rather than I try a different teacher who teaches at a different time and/or day.
