Ouchy

After the exertions of Saturday in the garden, I’m beginning to wonder if I didn’t do my legs a fair amount of semi-damage. A lot of this is because of the amount of shovelling and lifting that was being done, and because I knew my back was dodgy anyway, I did a lot of bending from the legs instead.

Yesterday in particular, all the muscles at the back of my legs – calf, knee tendons, and upper thigh – were sore. There’s a comedian who says “You always know when you’re getting older, because you start making noises when you sit down or stand up”. Yesterday that was me. It’s better today, but it’s still sore when doing such strenuous exercise as walking.

I’m sure it’ll improve, but it has to be said that right now I’m really not looking forward to the cycling parts of getting home after work…
