Ouch

Oh my GOD, my ass is sore. Stretching last night was good, but yeah. Soooo feeling that today. Work should be interesting. It's been a while since I've been sore like this, though, so it's kinda nice. And even better, Little Miss Whinypants wasn't there last night. Woohoo. Only disappointing part was the partner stretching. Normally I love partner stretching, because, especially for leg-lifting, someone else can lift your leg higher than you can lift your own, so you get way more stretch. Problem is, legs are heavy, and in order to really get the benefit out of this, you need someone who's capable and willing to push. I ended up paired with this perfectly lovely girl, but she's teeny tiny, and doesn't have a lot of muscle on her. So getting her leg up was no problem for me, but getting my leg up? Gave her a bit more trouble. Also, some people seem to freak out at the first sign of resistance they encounter (which is generally just gravity; not even any flexibility issues), and stop pushing as hard, when really, they haven't even started to really get anywhere. Maybe I can get Fuzzy to help me out with a power stretch once a week or something. Cuz that'd be awesome. Another nice thing about this class was that it gave me the opportunity to gauge my own current flexibility against everyone else's (I know, it's not a competition, but still), and despite having lost a lot, I've actually still got more in at least some directions than many of the others. So that's kind of gratifying.

Anyway, just about time to be off to work, where I'm sure my muscles will object to all the crouching and hauling books I will have to do. Oh well. I'll be fine.
