ouch.

hello muscles.
the ones i haven't used in a couple months.
the ones that are screaming with soreness and exhaustion.
the ones i am suddenly discovering, almost as if i never knew they existed.

it takes me a good twenty minutes to actually roll myself out of bed.
as i do so, you should hear all the cracking and popping.
doing the good ol' wake up stretch in the morning is suddenly painful.

this is the life of a ballerina.
in fact, it's almost expected to wake up sore year round.
good thing the "out-of-shape" sore only lasts for a little while.
or at least that's what i'm hoping for.

i wouldn't trade my life of being a ballerina for anything.
however, i would trade those sore muscles of mine any day of the week.
oh, the life of a dancer.
this week i'm saying: bring it on. 

have a happy weekend.
this weekend for me includes:
a photoshoot in yosemite, while wearing a leotard and pointe shoes.
just when those tourists thought they were going to see half dome,
they just might run into some crazy ballerinas hiking and posing.
afterwards, i plan on coming straight home to sit in an ice bath. 
my muscles may then, actually thank me. 
surely, i'll post pictures.

follow along, and i'll follow your lovely weekend too. 
xoxo

  1. Oh poor thing, I hope you'll feel better soon! I can't even imagine what it's like. But I can't wait to discover your Yosemite photoshoot!
    My body was so sore from hiking in Vietnam and I tried to hide that I was in pain because everybody else in the tour was feeling great (I was ashamed!)
