Sore muscles, man that sux

We went on a trip round the island last Sunday. It's only about 140 kms to round the island. But it's a dirt road, and sometimes it gets really bumpy.

Anyway, we took off at around 9.30 in the morning and we stopped at 12.30. Keep in mind that being the party animal that i am, I went out on Friday night and slept at around 5 in the morning. Woke up again at 10.30, went to the haridresser, had a tiny lunch, went to the beach with friends, met up at 6.00pm with Delizia and some other friends to celebrate a birthday and got on the piss AGAIN. This weekend wasnt your usual Bourbon and Coke + Beer weekend. Nope it was Vodka Absolut, Vodka Absolut Raspberry flavour, Smirnoff vodka red label, Jack Daniels (mmmm), Beer and Champagne. And i surprised myself cuz i wasnt sick once (not that i normally get sick but considering the amount of alcohol swallowed and the different kinds it's quite surprising...)!!!! Just very red and very tired and quite tipsy...heehee

Anyway, you imagine my state on Sunday morning at 9.30. I had a massive headache but it went away after the beer i brought to get rid of my hang over on the way :)

We had an awesome time. We got to this natural pool. And they did it up nice with a rope to swing (Tarzan-like) and to jump to the water. The thing is, the last time I did some real sports was at least 10 months ago, when squash was still cheap.

So the strecthing from swinging from the rope and the climbing back to the tree where the rope was attached to, to swing again was a bit too much for my poor sleepy muscles. I was fine back on Sunday. I thought i was goooooood (and i did show off a bit cuz i was the only girl brave enough to swing from the rope from the highest point without being scared, hehe).

But Monday and today i feel like this is what agony feels like when you get ran over by a goddamn train. Every time i sneeze or cough, every time i stand or sit down, every time i try to reach for something or actually grab it i feel like i got beat up by Buffy the Vampire Slayer....

I've taken pain killers but it just feels as bad. A hot shower was great last night. I would've taken a bath but i was too scared i wouldnt be able to stand up again...

Ouch, sore muscles suck... That's the price for showing off when you're not in shape.

Sounds like you had loads of fun IG! Your muscles will get back to normal in a couple of days. Just keep soaking in those warm showers. I prefer showers to baths myself. I can understand the body aches all over cause like you said, it's been a while since you did phsical exercise and that was some workout!

You talk about not being in shape?  Try pushing buttons 40+ hours a week and then doing 10 on a bike!  I wish I lived closer to my work so I could just ride my bike!

Ouchee... I definetely know what you mean. It's worse when your friends now about it and grab a handful of one of the sore muscle and give it a nasty squeeze. SUCKERS!!!!

IG,

It sounds like it was a lovely way to spend a lazy Sunday though. I'm envious...

Absolut


Ah, yes, my drink of choice. I could drink virtually anything if it were mixed with Absolut. My favourite mix is Red Bull, lime juice and a couple of shots of Absolut. Yuummmm...

Cheers,

Maso

Hey Maso you know what? It must be au Aussie thing the Vodka and Red Bull, every Australian people i meet go on about it, and i confess i havent tried it yet. So tonight, i promise i'm going to try it! It'll make my pool game better, i'm sure (NOT!!)

I would caution that if you want to be able to sleep, don't have too many as Red Bull has a high caffeine content. If you're wanting to go all night without slowing down, then it is the drink for you.

Funny you saying it is an Aussie thing as it was introduced to me by an English mate of mine. Oh well, maybe he learnt it from another Aussie.

Cheers,

Maso

Ok, thanks for the advice. I'm not planning on having a big night tonight, but you never know what the future holds, lol! So i'll still have one tonight. Check if it's drinkable

Yeah, that could be an explanation!

*burp* got a hangover...

i didnt end up trying the vodka redbull, it was too expensive for my purse. Someone recommended i had vodka and V cuz it's similar but i hate the taste of it. So i'm scared to try it and find out it's just as yucky. I'll just for someone to buy it for themselves and i'll take a sip. But i'll keep ya posted on this

--man that sux--

One night you drink like a sailor.
The next day you drink to get rid of your hangover.
Then you swing like Tarzan.
The following day you feel like you got hit by a train.
Then you take painkillers.
Then you realize that's the price for showing off.

Now you know what it's like for a typical college male.
man, that sux

I knew it was an experience that would teach me something of great importance!
