sore muscles - 06:10 AM
(filed under 'general')
(entered on my handheld while at the woodford folk festival & uploaded later.)
my muscles are killing me. i say 'my muscles' rather than being more specific because it seems like every muscle in my body is sore.
i'll try to cover them all & see if i can figure out at the same time why each muscle group is sore.
my back is killing me. i think that's mostly from the lack of tables & having to bend over constantly. it could also be from the several days of bending over while packing the boxes, & probably from packing the car & having to be a contortionist to push boxes & other things into various places to get it all to fit in the car—which it didn't really, in the end.
my legs are really sore, too. i went into the city with a friend a few nights ago to take some pictures & we did heaps of walking. the following night i took smiley into the city to see the same christmas lights i'd photographed the night before. as well as a lot of walking, i carried smiley some of the time variously on my hip, in front of me, or on my shoulders. i didn't do as much walking that second night, but with the carrying of an almost 15 kg (about 33 pounds) weight, i think it equates to about as many kilometres as the previous night.
my arms, hands & even my fingers are also really sore. that's surely from setting up the tarp & pulling the eighteen guy ropes tight several times each as i adjusted & readjusted each of them over the course of the several hours it took to set up camp to my complete satisfaction.
i've been making an effort to bend my legs & squat instead of bending over, so that's helping my back to recover, but boy am i feeling that in my already sore legs.
