Ouch

Ugh, I'm in pain.

It hurts.

I worked out yesterday.

For the first in, well, let's just say a long time.

And I used muscles that I haven't used in well over a year.

I used muscles that I'm not sure I even knew existed in my body.

But I felt good for doing it.

But then I experienced more pain this morning.

No, not the good soreness that you feel the morning after a good workout.

The kind of pain you experience when you are walking in a very slick and snow-covered parking lot, go to step on the sidewalk, and do a cartoon-feet-flying-out-from-under-you fall right onto your entire left side.

It hurt.

I didn't even have a millisecond for my mind to register the fact that I was falling. I was up one millisecond and down the next.

I scrambled to get up since I had landed in a pile of snow that was the aftermath of the snow plow going through the parking lot.

I pushed myself to my feet and briefly looked around to see if anyone saw me.

No one did.

I think.

My next thought was panic as I looked to see if my white winter coat was dirty.

It wasn't.

I then proceeded to walk to the door with my ego bruised, brushing snow off myself from my left shoulder down to my left knee.

Needless to say, the combination of the two has left me in some pain.

But like they say, no pain, no gain.

But I think I'll wear more sensible shoes in the snow from now on.
