daily grind
Mar. 31st, 2009 09:06 pmexercise: yoga/pilates - will I ever be able to do the roll-over right? I keep thinking I have strength but I none in those exact muscles
horses: lesson on the huuuge horse
fabric: yesterday's is dry, and today's is just silly
Woke up with one arm numb. (ETA I am fine! I've been checked by a physician, we both think the blood people crunched some crucial nerve when I last donated, but it makes for some interesting times. I can't grip for too long, and it is a really strong reminder to loosen up.) and the day just got harder from there.
It was an exhausting lesson on the huge horse. It took a while to get organized, and the stud colt kept coming to visit and distracting him. Everyone was gentlemanly but distracted. It also took a while to get softer, and we never did get a 10m turn to the left - partly because things kept getting in our way (poles, parts, mud) and partly because I couldn't rebend him quick enough to get there.
I got off feeling like I'd been beaten.
I still feel tired, and I am wondering what it is about riding that makes me so tired. I get off the girls and my knees give out. What gives?
