Achey-Breakey Whaaat??

6/23/2014

13 Comments

 
Woke up with weird achey legs today (mainly my inner thighs). WTF?! Oh, and slightly achey arms, chest and back too. What the... Hmm, maybe I had left it too long in between doing sessions of that kickboxing workout. But it's only a short one and it's only (mainly) cardio?? (There are a few push-ups and lunges though). Oh well.. This ache, combined with the constant rain (that, according to the weather reports is set to continue for another 2 weeks straight!) resulted in me forfeiting my run this morning and replaced it with lazing in bed with this little cutie:
Picture
Please excuse the shiny face there. This was us, last year, maybe around September or October, when our student friend who used to look after Puppy when we went away, gave us and "Bear" (her official name - one of about 4 names we currently use) some bling: bracelets for us and a collar for Bear, each with our name on. (She apparently wasn't a fan though, and later managed to get it off and chew it in exactly the right spot so it wouldn't fasten anymore. She has done this with a few leads in the past too. She's one smart puppy.)

I'm hoping the rain lessens a bit later on in the day, and then I can combine the (belated) run with a trip to some shops I've been meaning to get to (the Digital Marketplace, for all your computer/techno needs, we hope), but we'll see.

Oh, and I finally got around to updating this website this morning, so if you've been feeling left out when perusing the Wonderful Websites I Frequent page, then fear not, I have added a few more of my regular looked at sites there. It was well overdue, but for some reason my procrastination habit left me leaving it by the wayside. I have also updated my Race Pictures page, so there are a few more from the 50km trail race if you're interested.

Short and sweet from me in China today. (Internet issues AGAIN, so if I keep it short, there's more chance of it getting out there!).


I hope you have a terrific Tuesday!

Must have been a heck of a kick boxing work out! I hate those random aches and pains. I have a spot in my shoulder that really acts sometimes after I lift, gets me totally frustrated - if you are trying to do the right thing you shouldn't hurt, right? Love your puppy :) Some furry babies just don't like collars no matter how cute :) I am going to check out the pics.

Yeah, you know though, it wasn't even a hard workout at the time? Must just be muscles I haven't used for a while. My suspicions lie with the round-house kicks, or attempted round house kicks anyway... :)

Thanks, we love her too! :)

Hmmm I don't think I've ever had sore inner thighs. Must have been a damn good workout!

It's funny how we're on opposite sides of the world yet I feel like our weather is always exactly the same. It's been so rainy here lately (plus muggy, plus hot)!

Bear is too cute, but how did that nickname come about for such a little, sweet puppy?!

I feel a bit ripped off about the workout Kristina! It wasn't hard when I was doing it, but now I am achey 2 days later?? Boo... I blame using different muscles to running I suppose. It was a fun workout though. :)

We called her Bear, because sometimes she looks like a teddy bear. Her 'official' name that we got told when we bought her is Snow White. But we call her a mixture of Puppy, Bear, Diddly-Doo, and (this is going to sound cruel, but it's not, promise!) Deusche. This last one evolved from Diddly-Doo, to Diddly-Doosh, to just Deusche or Doosh. It sounds similar but it is NOT Douche! haha... :)

Haha awww I understand! I call Cecil "poop head" sometimes ... in the most loving way possible :)

It is a name that has evolved as well:

cutie pie >>cutie-poo >>poo >>poop head lol

Bahaha Kristina!! This cracked me up! As I can fully relate. Said with all the love in the world, I often call our puppy 'Deusche-face'! :)

I love the soreness the day after a real good workout. It tells me that I had a real good workout. Rain for 2 more weeks? I wouldn't be able to go that long without running and I would either run in the rain or find a treadmill *gasp*. I know, I hate treadmills also. :)

Yeah, I hear you David! I wouldn't be able to go for two weeks without a run either. So, no, had to suck it up and remind myself that last week I loved running in the rain, so convinced myself to get out there this morning. :)

That sounds like one heck of a workout. Man that rain is really throwing a monkey wrench into things.

Yeah, the constant rain gets a bit depressing hey! But, at least the mugginess and hot, humid conditions have died down a bit now. have to keep reminding myself that 'I love running in the rain', haha, it worked this morning, hopefully I can continue to convince myself of this over the next week or so. Also, hoping there is NO rain for the Gold Coast weekend! :)

No worries Kim! I had been meaning to update my website for AGES, stupid procrastination... Haha. :) Yours is one that read daily so it really should be on the list!

Umm, swapped the run for eating and drinking yesterday instead, oops... :(
