Ignoring Pain: Is it normal to ignore pain and perhaps cause further damage? I think it is common, especially among men who do not listen to their body's very well. Pain is the body's way of saying 'something is wrong'. Given that this was just walking you may be sore for some time but perhaps have not caused any permanent harm.

Pain: If you do not regularly walk for prolonged periods of time, then this is normal muscle pain from excessive walking and should subside in a day or 2. Drink a lot of water to hydrate your self.
