Sore Body

I don’t know whether I’ve talked about this yet but my whole body has been sore for almost 4 days now! This is because last week I started to do my exercise routine but the amount of effort I was putting in was too much. Basically, my body couldn’t handle the strain and started to stretch. When I say that I mean it’s called, “D.O.M.S”. Something most people who workout have felt from time to time. This is happens when you try to push past your limit and the muscles in your body aren’t used to it. So if your talking technical, my muscles literally teared up or ripped small holes in my tissue. That’s why my legs (thighs especially) and arms feel very weak and hurt when I walk up and down the stairs. Hopefully, tomorrow they will start to feel better because it’s already been half a week (they video that I watched said to get at the very most 8 hours of sleep but I’ve been getting 9 to 10 hours, but still no effect). If this soreness somehow lasts all the way to my Physical Fitness Exam in school then I am most definitely screwed.

Anyway, I want to talk a little about how I dealt with this soreness yesterday at the park. I walked about half a mile until I reached Lincoln park and was burning in the hot sun. Even though my muscles were just as sore as the day before I was still able to play Soccer then, so why couldn’t I do it now? Well turns out, all of that running from the day before really got on my thighs since my arms were perfect. There was no chance I’d be running and even walking was a pain. On Safari I searched how to deal with thigh soreness it and it showed a couple of exercises that looked like they would work. One of them was to pull your foot behind your butt and keep it like that for about 20 seconds. That way it would relieve some stress from your muscles. Another technique, was to just massage your muscles (squeeze certain areas). Once I reached the goals I tried kicking the ball at least a few inches but as soon as it touched the ball my legs burned. 

That was when I made the final decision to just go to McDonalds since I had to use the bathroom. When I reached the fast food place my sister called me and asked where I was. I told her about my bathroom situation and she had no sympathy. Then, I asked if she wanted anything at McDonalds for me to get her. Since fries were already a no (can’t carry them in my bag), we agreed on some chicken nuggets. While walking to the playground there seemed to be like a family of Asian people gathering around and one of the woman were looking at me like she knew me. I awkwardly continued walking and then she started calling what she thought was my name. It was pretty weird but I just ignored her, wonder what would happen when she realizes her mistake. That’s it for today’s post, until next time.
