I’m deliriously tired today. You would think a whole day outside in the cold would have knocked me out last night, but not so much. I couldn’t fall asleep and when I did I woke up 2 hours later to some noise and then I was wide awake. I tried laying out on the couch but that didn’t work either. I finally did fall asleep but I swear I woke up ever hour or so. Ridiculous.
Oh well, C thinks it is because I was still so pumped from snowboarding with Bessie all day. I came home and couldn’t stop talking about it. It felt amazing to get back out on the slopes. Maybe I was still on a high from the day.
We had a couple mishaps and I’m sure we were entertaining to the worker at the top of the hill because of our antics getting off the chairlift. He even came out to give commentary a couple of times. The only scary part of the day was getting our boards tangled up on the exit from the chairlift at the end of the day. I swear if I wouldn’t have laid flat the chair would have punched me in the face. We didn’t let the chairlift win, we made sure we had an pretty exit and a good run before we called it a day. I’d say we rocked it for not having been out on our boards in a few years.
On Friday I was at taekwondo doing normal kicks and all of a sudden I felt a pop in the back of my leg. Yeah, I pulled my hamstring. I was terrified I wasn’t even going to be able to go to snowboarding so I left class and picked up some icy hot and on impulse a thermacare heatwrap. Oh.My.God. that thermacare heatwrap was the best thing I ever bought. It was stayed warm for longer than 8 hours and really relaxed my aching muscle. I went from limping with stiffiness to just a minor aggrevation on saturday. If you ever pull a muscle or just have an ache I highly recommend trying the thermacare heatwraps.
(And no, I was not asked or paid in any way to endorse thermacare heatwraps I happened to pick them up on a whim. Though if they wanted to give me samples, money or coupons I would accept
.)
