This is just pathetic...

I am currently laying on my couch. I woke up at 10:30 with my quads still sore, just like they were yesterday. I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary in my workout routine so the only thing I can think of that would have caused this is gardening with my Mom on Monday. Who knew that pulling weeds, planting flowers, and spreading mulch would make me sore? I think it's kind of pathetic to be honest. To add insult to injury I started a new ab work out yesterday so my abs are sore too. Clearly running everyday is far different from actual physical labor so, as I read over my pre-departure guide for South Africa for what feels like the millionth time ( I'm trying to absorb everything) I am wondering how sore I am going to be the first few days. Remember the girl that is the daughter of the guy my dad works with that went to Africa? Remember, she gave me the idea to start this blog? Well on her blog she writes about how the well in her community is this massive whole in the ground that is insanley deep and the bucket is huge so hauling up the water is realllllyy hard. I have absolutely no upper body strength. Yes, I would consider myself in better shape than I once was but I'm definitely not doing one hundred push ups a day. So I'm pretty sure its inevitable that I will be sore the first week of the trip. There's nothing wrong with having a little bit of muscle right? haha. Anyways, I am seriously contemplating whether or not I want to run today because my quads hurt! I should just stop being a complainer and get up and go. I need some motivation and Bayleigh is not helping. She's not being her overhyper self; she's been sleeping all morning!
