The motive to this post: an aching bum, painful arm muscles and the desperate need to stay in bed all day...

...which, in fact, I am doing. By the way, meet Ginger, my teddy who's keeping me company today (actually can't live without my teddy's).
SO the cause of all this? Yesterday, I went to play Squash with my boyfriend and his Dad. Rest assured, I made certain I dressed appropriately (after trying on 3 different pairs of shorts) but I seemed to have forgotten one important detail... I haven't done an ounce of sport since Dance Leaders back in Year 12 - 2 years ago, and I DEFINITELY felt the effects.
Initially, I stood over court 2 watching the boyfriend and his dad battle out a game. I had never, ever played Squash before in my life, and I was frightened. There was no way I could have hit the ball that hard whilst continuously running up and down! HAHA they must have been kidding!!
So I thought that maybe I'd just watch at first, then maybe next time get involved with a bit of hitting the ball back and forth, until..
"Shall we give it a go?"
My heart literally started beating at about 100mph. I played my boyfriend's dad and, embarrassingly, was out of breath after hitting the ball about 5 times. Not only that, but the amount of times I missed the ball on a serve, or accidentally ran into the wall, or tried to do an impressive shot but failed, I just wanted to run away. Didn't help that I was frequently asking for water breaks when everyone I "played" weren't even out of breath :(
Regardless of the humiliating situation I put myself in, it was a damn good workout, and even though right now I'm suffering from an aching and tender bum, it will be worth it! And yes, I have plans to go back...not saying it's such a good idea after what happened yesterday, but I'm willing to give it another go!
Come at me firm bum.
