Owwwww!

[qos]

I just got home after my first serious weight training workout in at least five years. I've lifted a few weights on my own during the intervening years, but it's not the same as having a good trainer standing at my side cheerfully saying, "Four more reps" when my arms are already shaking.

Ow. Ow. Ow.

But it's the "hurts so good" kind of ow -- even though I doubt I'll be able to stand up after the shower I'm going to take in a few minutes.

I don't have anywhere near the strength or stamina I used to -- but my form is still damn good. The trainer only had to make one or two small corrections. He was impressed.

That made me happy.

I'm now going upstairs to soak my aching body and smile through my groans.

*grimaces in solidarity with you*

Sister, I feel your pain: and will again after tomorrow morning's 7:30 am session with my own trainer.

I feel with and for you, dear one.
