interestingly enough, the prophecy was not fulfilled, and my muscles were not at all sore which is strange because I'm never not right ;). It either means that I either didn't really get that much workout and was only tired because I'm way out of shape...boo! OR I'm in much better shape than I thought and the bit of work out just didn't make any difference on my body of steel--ha!
backtrack: I should've been sore because....
... I made 50 euros by skating with 2 wobbly kids the height, after 5 minutes of which I started feeling my ab muscles squeezing lemon juice out of themselves. this lasted 1 hour. I skated2 more hours on my own after that.
... the next morning, Ariane, 3 of her friends to Aquaboulevard and I went to a half indoor, half outdoor water park. We left the house at 8:10AM (sunrise forecasted at 8:43AM). It felt like a refrigerator when we first got in, but this was soon cured by going OUTSIDE to get a 3-person float (for us 5). It was 1-degree outside, which was 1 DEGREE FROM FREEZING! what adult in their right mind would go OUTSIDE WET IN A BIKINI BEFORE SUNRISE?!! (yours truly, thank you). Needless to say, the refrigerator immediately felt like the the Bahamas when we returned with the raft. Little did I know that we were only in transit in the Bahamas, it was just a path to another door which led to the outside again! only this time, we were had to run up 5 FLIGHTS OF ALUMINUM STAIRS STILL WET STILL IN BIKINIS AND STILL MORE FREEZING to get to the ride for which we got the raft in the first place.
5 flights of stairs in a bikini at 0-degree weather (it was literally forecasted to be 1 degree--not exaggerating!!) my brain was too congealed to remember the ride, but---- I do remember us getting another floating device at the end of the ride (indoors), and we took that device to none other place than that aluminum freezer, for yet another ride. If you think that certainly by now I'd come to my senses and that once this second ride ended, I would stay inside..well I guess brain gelato isn't that quick to make decisions because we REPEATED THIS 5 TIMES UNTIL WE DID ALL THE RIDES!
After the 5th, we went to the jacuzzi, which, after 2 minutes we realized was just lukewarm-4-hour-old-tea MASQUERADING AS JACUZZI! it actually had the nerves to eject COLD WATER!
so when the jacuzzi got too cold, we swam in the cold pool to warm up. and when that got too warm/cold/boring/iCouldn'tFeelAnymore we went outside to do the rides and the cycle went on until I bribed Ariane to go start leaving at 2:45pm.
oh but I WAS SORE! I just remembered! one muscle on the left side of my neck was sore the first part of the week, it was v. difficult to drink out of a bottle. good thing I'm don't converse much with my ceiling.
So I never got to the "no muscle soreness...BUT all this other stuff happened" part, just the prelude. so I might as well change the title of this blog entry.
I'll do that tomorrow, too tired now, picking up my drum in paris at 7:40am, which gives me 3 hours to sleep, if I sleep now, which I won't. It's ok, I'll come home and sleep during the day. I have the week off...yes!!
