Is it seriously the Jogging!!

A group of grad students invited me to join them in their saturday morning jog, on the huckleberry trail (where the loose criminal tried to excape a while back), anyways I wasn't interested and after they had asked for a "little while", I succumbed. The Joke was I hadn't remontely done anything befitting anyform of exercise, and we were going to jog 3 miles . So I woke up early, thanked the Lord for being alive and got picked up. I stretched so hard preparing myself for the work ahead and to my amazement I managed to jog nearly 2miles. You would think that's where the story ends, well I walked the whole 2 miles back (I was so proud of myself there was no need for any more excersise), got back very impressed with my meagre effort, and my joints have been aching since. So I am begining to wonder did the jogging have anything to do with my aching joints. You would think the muscles should be affected. Well its been quite difficult to get around, but I can't but think, maybe the stretching was excersise enough on its own.

If only Naijabloke would take to his own advice. Wasn't it only 7 flight of stairs u took and u were trying desperately to catch ur breath? Hit the gym, u this Ijebu wannabe.

hahahahahahahah..I don't tire for you two.
@naijabloke thanks for the advice. It would never have crossed my mind, seing as I would expect my back and muscles to ache, certianly not my knee joints.
@xoxo you self you like trouble.

3 miles?! YEAH it had to do with the aches...lol

which reminds me..i need to get my butt to the gym!

NaijaBloke said...

U wey dey talk sef ..when u enter gym last not to talk of Jogging 1/2 a mile.LOL ..

LondonBuki said...

NB, don't start o! Be careful o!!! U've been warned! You better start working out before ONLY 7 flights of stairs damage you!

Girl, it was definitely the jogging... your body (incl. joints) is nowhere near used to all of that movement and exertion.

NaijaBloke said...

See me see trouble o ...dem dan call demselves again.I no know wetin I do these Ijebu women sef.

No wahala am off to the gym after work 2day ma.

DiAmOnD hawk said...

reminds me of when i went to play tennis after YEARS of not playing...oh yes...the joints...the muscles...all of it will cry for like two days...sha dont stop...

Cherub (former Bijouxoxo) said...

@NB: You know it's luff nau. I had to pay u back, one way or the other. Anyways, if u want to know, i partcipate in an aerobic dance class twice a week for one and half hours and i power walk/ jog for 30 minutes once a week. I tell you, working out pays off big time. Apart from doing it for the effects, the 6-pack abs and all, it's good to keep fit. Most of the diseases out there, are due to being overweight. Please, hit the gym and watch ur diet.

Cherub (former Bijouxoxo) said...

BTW, NB i'm not an Ijebu girl, but really close.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@belle - I am telling you, girl, the kind of joint ache I've been going through it unbeleivable, it got to a point that I didn't want to sit cause I knew it would be a serious struggle to get up.
@lbucki - But my back and muscle area, did not feel like it had done anywork out, just my knee joint. It really should have been proportioned right!!
@diamond - I only wished my muscles would have ached a little. I felt like everytime I stood I was about to topple over.
xoxo & NB - na you two biko. This weekend we are hicking, pls pray for me.

Miguel said...

how old are you again?

NaijaBloke said...

Xoxo thank u jere for the advise moi dear... me sef go join one of those dance classes wey get plenty women for the gym now...LOL

Not my fault that I have been pocrastinating o,na just work and some extra things I have to do jere.Was addicted to playing basketball before,played for high school and college o,but men am kinda lazy now.

NaijaBloke said...

Hmmm. Life of a stranger .. Hiking ..I pray u make it o with this ur joints.

U have a nice weekend

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@miguel - old enough, if you went through the pain and agony I was talking about, you start to question your judgement.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@ miguel - LOL haha

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@ NB - amen oooo.

LondonBuki said...

Girl, It might have something to with your trainers/sneakers/running shoes. Were you running on hard ground or grass?

If you can hear your shoes hitting the ground, as in slapping the ground, your running technique might be the problem.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@ londonbuki-Thanks for that, that could be it, I was doing fashion parade. Vanity is terrible. Was doing colour coordination. U know how it is!! Will make sure I have better trainers for next time, (thats if there is one). Let me finish this hike this weekend and see how I feel.

NaijaBloke said...

See Buki dan become trainer here o.

The Life of a Stranger called me said...

@dipo - I tried acouple of times round a pond, nearly fell into it. I will keep you updated on my hike this weekend to the cascades.

Cherub (former Bijouxoxo) said...

NB, I'm an Egba gal.
Hope ur hiking goes fine. Keep us updated.

LondonBuki said...

NB, yes I am a trainer! Professional for that matter! Hope your hiking goes well :-)

NaijaBloke said...
