It has been raining non-stop this Friday afternoon. Most people wouldn't mind the rain, I mean it is clearing out the pollen in the air and bringing a small respite the to high humidity that has been plaguing us all summer. Me? I sort of mind it. Not the actually rain, just its choice of days to fall from the sky. Weekends are typically filled with outdoor activities for me.. what exactly? Well riding of course. Typically get in 2 nice long rides over the course of a weekend but not this weekend. Or last weekend that matter, but that was due to travel and work. I suppose I'm just pissed that I can't get out on my bike and hurt myself. I know, I'm odd.
Anyways, so in lieu of biking.. I've decided to swim and lift the last few days. Pretty good alternative right? I mean.. if you can't get outside the only options really are getting to the gym to workout inside. What about indoor cycling? I can't bring myself to do such a thing (though I'm planning on doing some trainer work over the winter at the office.. but that is different. Really, it is). So I've been lifting some weights. Let me also state that it has been over a year since I've really lifted what-so-ever.. and probably closer to 4 years since I hit weights with any regularity. So, what does all this mean?
Well at the moment I can barely stand up.. everything hurts, and I'm having a difficult time doing simple routine tasks. Attempting to extend any of my limbs fully is difficult.. I shake when I try to pour milk over cereal.. and I've found my muscles randomly twitching for no apparent reason. It is really humbling to know that my muscular strength has completely bombed, yet I can ride a bike better now than I ever have before.
So.. I'm going to go curl up in a little ball and try to ignore the fact that every time I try to stretch it makes me want to cry.
Stupid rain..
