A Little Sore

Well, rollerblading definitely works out different muscles than running. I am sore in so many places today I can't even believe it! (And No, that is not a picture of me over on the left. I'm not that muscular, and I don't do jeans with no belt.) It's a good kind of sore, and definitely highlights where my weaknesses are. Hips and butt we already know about, but I also feel it in the small of my back, the obliques, the groin, hamstrings, quads, and even the outsides of my lower legs. I definitely recommend this to anyone as a good cross-training activity. Of course, I've only been once but plan on doing this again and definitely doing some ice skating in the winter.

Last night I just couldn't sleep. Not sure if it was the muscle soreness, or the wine, port and a little scotch I had when we had a couple of friends over for dinner, but I woke up at 2:00am and could not get back to sleep. I decided to catch up on some schoolwork, thinking that this would make me drowsy in no time, but ended up working until 4:00am! I'll probably crash tonight, and may even have to squeeze in a nap this afternoon (unlikely to happen given family and stuff). In any case, it was tough waking up this morning, but the kids made sure I didn't sleep in and waste away the morning. Thanks guys!

NOT!!!

Tomorrow I will contemplate running again, but the chances of this happening are slim. The ankle issue is still lingering and I don't want to push it. I will likely rollerblade again and hopefully work out some of these tight spots.

Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday of running or a well deserved off day!
