Sometimes, after vigorous exercise your muscles might be sore. Why is the pain so bearable, apathetic and soothing?

Not a scientific answer, but personally I think it’s because it reminds you of an accomplishment. Sore muscles mean you worked hard and I always feel good about myself when that happens.
