Owwy!
Pain. No one really likes it. But somehow in so many ways we put ourselves in the way of pain. And for 'good' reasons...like working out and getting fit. I decided when I signed up for my new gym to get a few personal training sessions. I hadn't been pushing myself at all to workout hard and had lost a lot of fitness in the 1-1/2 years since I moved here. So I met up with my trainer, Kevin, yesterday. I had been sick the week before & not worked out really since...boy did it show! I tried to push myself but I just couldn't do a few things I had excelled at only a year earlier. How pathetic!! And now, a day later, I'm in pain. Major pain. I can deal with it after having a been an athlete for years and I tend to have a decent pain tolerance...but I haven't felt like this in YEARS! R. tried to rub my back and I almost cried...even just having my muscles touched hurts. Now this is a good thing as it means that I did push myself and my muscles are rebuilding to become stronger...but jeez! So I now have to keep pushing myself to stay on course. Seeing Kevin again in a few weeks will help. I really would like not to feel like this again! Perhaps it's time to follow another English tradition and take a nice long bath with a cuppa...yup, that's the way.
