Day 9: Hurts

GOAL: STEP ON THE TREADMILL
STATUS: COMPLETE

I walked for 0.1 miles for 4:33.

So, I showed my mom this blog for the first time today, and she read through it and laughed.

Not sure how I feel about that.

Granted, she's been on her own exercise journey. . . .

She also asked me where it hurts.

My response?

Where doesn't it hurt?!

Oh, you mean my toes that rub against my shoes, the little muscles in my feet, the constant charley horses cramping my calves (not sure if it's the gastrocnemius or the soleus, but somewhere in there), the burning in my thighs, the pinching in my hips, the rocks in my core, the tightening in my shoulders and upper arms, and the tension in my neck, jaw, forearms, and hands. Plus, the muscles I didn't know I used when walking... Sure there's the gluteus maximus and medius muscles and the hamstrings... but the gluteus minimus??? I swear that hurts the worst, and it's so, so, small, but unnervingly vertical.

Her reply?

So, you're saying it hurts everywhere. . . .

Yup, Mom. Pretty much. 

Pretty. 

Much.
