I had my physical today... always a lovely event. Got a meningitis shot which, putting it quaintly, hurts like a bitch. my arm feels like its going to die of achiness.
Fortunately, that isn't possible, otherwise half our senior population wouldn't be around.
anyways, found out something interesting- totally contrary to my belief, stopping dancing improved my health drastically. I had no idea what kind of strain it was putting on my body.
Last year, my pulse was 80, today it was measured at 52. For those not familiar with pulses, 80 is reasonably bad (my 50 year old unfit dad has 74), and 48 is the pulse expected in a marathon runner. lance armstrong has a pulse of about 40, I'm told. which is insanely good.
and that 80 pulse was taken in what was near the height of my dancing, when I was doing about 8 hours a week, plus competitions.
weird. very weird.
In other, possibly equally dull news, winter break really wore me out. And possibly got me sick, as I got so fatigued and weak I could stay in school today.
but matthew reid and quentin surprise visited me because they knew I was sick. Which honestly made my day...Thanks guys.
