Word of the Week #325:
So… Apparently, when my limbs are tired, they are more likely to get hurt.
Now, that statement sounds just SO obvious when I say it, but it is still one thing to “know” and quite another to receive a sudden and stark reminder of it.
I think I am beginning to understand the mechanism of how that happens too. I mean, about time, right? After all, I have already experienced it often enough.
When I do play fatigued, it feels as if the muscles meant to control and stabilise the joint are tired and weakened. Each time I take a step, land hard on the floor, or bump into an opponent, the impact seems to reverberate through my body deep into the bones. All the energy that should have been absorbed by the muscles seems to jolt through the joints.
It… hurts…
I’m afraid I am getting too old to keep running and jumping and playing without getting enough rest. Another one of those obvious statements, I suppose.
More than anything else, if I want to keep running and jumping and playing at all, I ought to start being just a little more cautious and a little more patient.
In time, I’m sure I’ll be glad for these changes.
