Rant 211 29/7/12 Subject: Aches and pains

Rant number 211


Ouch!

I'm quite achy today. This is not a normal thing (I'm not that old!) but is instead a reaction to the go-karting trip I was part of today. It was good fun throwing a car about the same size as a deck chair around a track at high speed, but also was surprisingly hard work.

As a result, I'm currently aching a little in the vicinity of my calves, my arms and my neck.

By no means is this unbearable, but it does beg the question. Why do we have to have aches and pains?

I mean, what use are they? None whatsoever.

They never happen before, or during a time when you are exerting yourself do they? No. They don't creep up and go - that's hurting now, better be carefully Trum!

No, they come along afterwards when you've stopped exerting yourself and go 'you shouldn't have done that.' How warped is that!

Aches and pains also send out a most mixed message. If I had been exerting myself to get fit, my body would have told me afterwards that this was a bad idea - when really, it should be a good idea. Why send me messages that I should stop doing things that it doesn't like that are good for it!

The whole thing is bloody ridiculous!

Rant over.
