Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!…

I feel like I aged 20 years and no my Birthday on Tuesday had nothing to do with that. My whole body is suffering from muscle ache. To say I have a little muscle ache would be the understatement of 2006! All because on Wednesday I had a “good” idea and played a game of squash with a very good friend and also (V)RB. It was on the way to the courts he briefly mentioned he used to play in the league on Sundays…with hindsight, this would have been the moment I should have proposed to go the pub straight away and forget about the game all together…

45 minutes later and I looked like a right tosser, wet from sweat, hair sticking too my face, which by the way, was glowing bright red. He, on the other hand, barely looked like he even raised his temperature, he looked fit and fresh, not even one sweat drop appeared on his face.

The muscle ache started during the day yesterday, mildly at first, so in the evening I decided to go for my normal Thursday Run. I did do really well, considering, roughly about 10k in just over 50 minutes. A lot better than Tuesday when I barely did 8k in an hour, must have been the fact I had not run for 4 days on Tuesday.

When I woke up this morning, my right arm was rendered useless, as in totally unable to move it without massive pain shots shooting through it, on top of that, the rest of my muscles (specifically the ones in my bum) gave signals to my brain telling it to find another source of movement, as they were on strike.

I tried to negotiate a deal and we came to a compromise, I promised to not try any sudden movements and give at least a 5-minute warning in advance, and they would keep the pain to a minimum... so far its working and I managed to take a seat behind my desk and computer, everything is in arm reach, and I am settled for the day ;-)

If I can move on Sunday, my next run will be then.

Have a nice Friday!
