Sore

I'm really sore right now.

We had another day of weight training today. Ryan and I promptly took a 22-pound weight. It was much easier than yesterday, but for some reason I'm more sore than yesterday.

My thighs are sore, my butt is sore (don't ask why, I don't know), and my shoulders are sore. I can barely walk down stairs, let alone sit down. It reminds me of my first few days of cross-country. I remember the days when I was in a similar state where I couldn't sit or do much else. But now I'm achy in more places than usual.

But, after weight training was done, I still felt a bit incomplete. Ironically enough, my buddies invited Ryan and I to go run for a bit. The funny part was, despite all the soreness and stuff, Ryan and I went running. It was quite an interesting decision, but it was good to be with the running group again. It's only been about a week since I last ran, but I miss the whole experience of running and talking and ditching and going to the bathroom and etc. I still don't feel like a part of swimming yet. I'm swimming, I do the weight exercises, I'm there. But I don't feel like I'm part of it yet. I'll give it more time I guess, but so far I'm not feeling it.

But I'm feeling something, something every time I stand up to get something or go to the bathroom. I'll be feeling this something for a few days, but it's okay, because I sorta enjoy the feeling. It feels like I've accomplished something in a way, like I'm actually improving, though it's only been 2 days of weight training.

I put too much thought into this. I'm just happy it's a long weekend this week.
