Ouch

So it is days like today that remind me that I am not as flexible as I once was....

The past few days I have done quite a bit when it comes to physical activity. Thursday I was at the dance studio for about 7 hours and woke up the next morning with the worst pain at the bottom of my sternum... I can't really tell if it is a muscle strain or soreness or if I somehow managed to bruise my ribcage. I do know that it hurts like no other to laugh, breathe, and even just sit relaxed. In combination with that my dear husband took my ice skating for our date that next day (which of course I couldn't say no too, because if I wasn't a dancer I would have loved to be an ice skater) so even though the night was a lot of fun it just added to my sore tired body.... and then today I was back at the dance studio teaching lift clinics. I have realized that it isn't the lifts that exhaust me because I try to do them correctly so they don't strain any muscles, but it is when I spot all the kids that are learning new lifts because I do everything to keep them from falling which means having my body in weird angles. Then after that I worked 6 hours and needless to say I think I could use a nice massage right about now!

But anyways.... enough of my little rant of my old body. I am just so grateful my husband is going to be a physical therapist so that he can keep my limbs from falling off.

And I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to dance, ice skate, and just enjoy myself (so being sore is worth it in the end!)
