In praise of my wife
So I'm a pretty athletic guy - I've done an Ironman, and all kinds of randomly long adventure races, mountain bike races, etc. At any time, without having worked out recently, I'm able to go for a decent 5 mile run, or a 50 mile bike ride, or whatever.
My wife, on the other hand, is completely non-athletic, and uninterested in it. She does, however, go to a fitness class at our local gym, and the other day invited me along. Sure, what the heck, should be fun...
Holy Christ!! Halfway through the workout, and 200 lunge / military press combinations later, I'm starting to get lightheaded. I finally decide if I don't take a break, I'm going to pass out on the floor.
Two days later, my right leg is slightly swollen and hurts to the point that it's hard to walk on it. Jeez, who knew?!?
