PMR and exercise: What helps you?

I’m about a year and a half in and tapered down to 4 MG successfully (through much flaring trial and error). My current pain mostly presents in my shoulders.
I see lots of folks reference “overdoing it” and I’m kind of intrigued about how that feels to people. Is it always the next day that night a few days later and is it PMR pain?
I asked because this week on vacation in the Palm Springs area …. I went for an 8 mile hike, felt great the next day so I went for a more strenuous 3 mile hike and felt great for 2 days but today I’ve pretty much napped all day! It’s strange, I’m thoroughly exhausted but don’t really have a ton of pain! The only other variable to toss into this is I watched my son’s 2 hr baseball game yesterday in damp cold Seattle. Is that overdoing it?

@jmcc - That would be seriously overdoing it for me 🙃 but then I'm older than dirt and can't walk very far or very long without lower back pain. My own personal definition of overdoing it is when my body starts to hurt I think it's telling me stop doing that. I think it's a different definition for each of us since we are in different physical conditions and have different definitions of what is pain for us. I'm thinking a chance to watch your son's 2 hr baseball game was a treat for you and was worth it either way!
