"Because, damn, I hurt all over. And tomorrow I'm expecting girly cramps."
Have you noticed that your pain threshold is lower the week before your period? I was never aware of this until I studied karate. Because I was doing essentially the same set of things week after week, it was suddenly clear that everything that could possibly be perceived as painful or uncomfortable hurt MORE at certain times of the month. It was equally true of discomforts suffered during class (like standing in a horse stance for a minute) and sore muscles afterwards.
On the plus side, the 2nd day of my period my brain would be flooded with endorphins and nothing hurt. I kinda miss that.
