"WHOA! That is WAAAY worse than I thought it'd be. I know you are your harshest critic. But, you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. That certainly looks painful."
As a direct result, I requested from my trainer that we [EXCLUSIVELY] focus on my LEGS & my LEFT ARM today. Kindly & considerately, he obliged. Thus, today I demonstrated
20 LEFT armed rotary curls;
several minutes of various LEFT shoulder stretches of the areas around my bursa, my humerus & my rotator cuff;
a thankfully UNeventful ~16 minute bike ride [of just one singular lap] around the community.
(I told him that in the near future I'd like to test my endurance by trying TWO laps around my community. I think his reaction marked the very first time I have ever confronted/experienced this--a grown man actually giggled.)
--> During the bike ride, I remarked that DISTANCE-rides, such as these, are more ENDURANCE-tests. While SPRINTS focus more on STAMINA.
... Just after said bike ride, I commented,
"We both come from athletic backgrounds that concentrated on ENDURANCE--your cross country track & my wrestling. To each his own."
--> We also discussed--as we always do--our preference of northeastern sports team over ANYone in south Florida.
I was on such an emotional & psychological HIGH immediately after my productive [PHYSICAL] workout, that I thought it only appropriate to next exercise my mind. Thus, after only a couple minutes of trials, I texted both my nurse & my mother with this message:
"YAAAY! Just now I designed an angular placement of this lil’ pillow to rest beside my bedside desk to support my elbow withOUT my dragging my RIGHT forearm against my desk. Thus, I am NOT further irritating my bruise. AAAH, trigonometry!"
I bid him adieu by stating,
"I really hope YOUUU have a happy Mother's Day!"
I smiled as he chuckled & replied, "Oh, yeah!"
He knew good & well, that the Celtics' GINORMOUS Game 7 matchup is this Sunday.
