A painfully good experience.

Since when was getting a massage a painful experience? :) Yeah, even
though my physiotherapy appointment was painful, it was good. April
was nice and she talked me through everything and told me which leg
muscles were affected and how I should start stretching certain
muscles more. Mentally, I'm panicing because I feel like I just pulled
both my calf muscles again and Zones is on Wednesday. She told me that
I'll be fine by then but it's hard to imagine it when it hurts to
walk. Let's hope she knows what she's talking about! (I really don't
doubt her, I'm just not used to this. d:) I have to drink lots of
water to flush the lactic acid she worked out of my muscles or
something. I've drank 5-6 500mL waterbottles so far. xD My next
appointment is next Tuesday, two days before the Provincial Track and
Field meet, which I'll hopefully be competing at.

My mom has really been hounding on me lately and I really don't like
it. It's getting me angry which clashes with her anger and it doesn't
do any of us good. I'd wish she'd just back off!

I picked up a big, 65L hiking backpack today. :D It's so awesome, I
can't wait to use it!! It's black, gray and red. I love it, I love
it! :P

I don't think I'll go to my fire fighter meeting tonight. I'm not in
the mood or physically up to it. I need to run an easy 15 minutes
anyways (therapist's orders).

OH YEAH.

I did really well at the County Track and Field meet, placing 1st in all three of my events (3000m, 1500m and high jump). :D But, as you can tell from my physiotherapy experience, I pulled my right hip flexor muscle going over some hurdles for tee hee's BEFORE I had to run all my events. Obviously it didn't hold me back too much! So I'm going to the Zones Track and Field meet on Wednesday, May 27. Wish me luck!
