Hi Everybody
{Hi Dr. Nick}
I have been very sore the past three days (day three being today). Why you ask? What am I doing that makes me so very sore? I am crazy. Thats the simplest answer in its simplest form.
Actually I have decided that my geographical location is a benefit to my overall health.
You see, for all those who don't know, I live right by the Niagara Escarpment. So close in fact I could walk to it. And thats what I have been doing. Walking to it, up it, turing around, and walking back. I started on Thursday. Its Saturday and it has become a daily thing. Which is good. Except that my legs are killing me. Like to the point where I even want to get up because it hurts too much.
But pain is good. In a good way. Because just walking up the hill and back causes me to start to breath heavily and sweat profusely. I want to get to a point where it doesn't do that and maybe then I can incorporate something else into the mix, like jogging *gasp*.
I just want to know how I am going to do this once I start work again (I had a three day weekend of sorts.. it rocked my holey socks!). I mean, I would have to wake up like... really early to go, walk, shower and go to work. Like a whole hour and a half earlier. And that sucks. Cause I like sleep.
But I have decided that I kind of like this walking thing. It makes me feel like I am doing something with myself. I am not just sitting around letting the fat in my body congeal around my hips, stomach and ass. I am out there now. Working up a sweat. Getting my heart pumping more then I think it possibly ever has. I don't feel like an exercise loser anymore. Except I am sure that will change the first morning that I don't do the walk.
I would never take myself for a walker. But I like that even in the past three days, I seem to be getting to the top faster. I have found some good walking music, and at the end of the walk, I get further up the stairs to my floor before it starts to hurt.
The downside is the sore. I thought that okay, my calf muscles will be sore for sure. I hardly ever walk, so it doesn't surprise me. Its the muscles on the front of my legs, the ones I use when walking DOWN the hill that came out of nowhere and said "HEY, pay attention to me". And my ass. It hurts as well. But thats good. Feel the burn. Pain is beauty. And all that Jazz.
And there's and entire entry devoted to me being a lazy ass and the fact that I am trying to change that. Hope you enjoyed it, or ignored it, or whatever.
