Sore Muscles = Lots of PAIN!!!

If you can't tell from the title of this post, I AM IN LOTS OF PAIN RIGHT NOW!!!!

So, yesterday was my first "offifcal" gym class of senior year. I say "official" because I have had gym but it has consisted of watching lots of different videos on first aid and CPR for about two weeks. Yesterday was the first day that we actually had to change and do something.

Class started off with the usual stretching. I am ok with that stretching helps to reduce pain. But, after that our teacher says 4 dreaded words....."Ok children, Go run!" So we ran. We had to run for 5-10 minutes straight which is like who knows how many laps around the gym!

After that he decides to break us up into teams. So we could play FULL COURT BASKETBALL! YEAH!!!! .................NOT! We had to play two seperate 25 minute games with hardly any substitutions. It was a nightmare!

During one of the games, I don't remember which, someone who obviously doesn't know basketball decides to try and block my shot from behind. Now this might not be impossible for someone who is really tall and could get away with it but, A) blocking from behind is a total foul and B) this person was shorter then me and could barley reach over me! So, when they go to try to block the shot they missed and hit me right in my shoulder. It really hurt! They hit really hard! I know they didn't mean to but it still hurts! I also got other bumps and bruises from other such incounters during the game.

I really didn't think much of any of these injuries until I woke up this morning. I tried to get out of bed but everything hurt so badly! My legs and arms felt as stiff as boards! It took me about four times as long to get ready for school!

Then I had to spend the whole day walking around school in tons of pain! It didn't help that we had to do the exact same thing in gym today! Though this time I got into less collisions with people.

Our teacher says that we are supposed to go outside tomarrow and go fitness walking if it is nice enough outside. I hope it is becuase I don't think I will be able to stand one more day of such excruciating pain!!

P.S. Sorry for any spelling errors. I'm in a rush and the spell check on this thing isn't working!
