Achy Breaky Ass
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Health, Weekend |
I’ve experienced an achy breaky butt. This is not meant to be a spin off of Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus. Nope, I’ve really got a sore ass.
I spent the weekend doing exactly what I wanted to do. On Sunday morning the sun was out. I went for a 40 minute run. It was amazing. I felt empowered. By empowered, I mean I felt okay to order a burger with two beers at lunch. But since I’m so concerned about my caloric intake, I ordered a side of raw carrots instead of fries. <~ last sentence was added in case my trainer reads this post. She’ll be so proud.
By the time I got home from lunch, I was in the mood to go rollerblading. The skies had turned dark and the rain had started. However I saw a glimpse of blue skies just south…so I headed there.
There’s a canyon with a long trail from the mouth to the top. The blading up the canyon took just over an hour. It started sprinkling when we got near the top. This adventure was filling my craving to blade. I was loving it.
Then the trip back down started. By then, the skies decided to turn black and pour rain. It was wet. And cold. And downhill.
On the first hill down, I fell backwards. On my ass. Really hard. It was hard enough that I stood up, held back the tears and rubbed my ass. I mean, REALLY rubbed my ass. Ouch!
I managed to get to the bottom of the trail. But that wasn’t without lots of reminding to my blading partner that I had an achy ass. I even had him look at it.
There are about 10 red and tender scrapes. No bruising visible yet. But I think it must swollen. Of course, that could just be the result of my burger and beer lunch.

A.J. Mahler: Are you laughing at my ass? I’m used to it. Don’t worry. Laughter is the key to a long life.

Oh honey! That sucks! You are lucky you didn’t break your ass bone… I mean tail bone! Good for you for being all active though. I’m trying to get more active too!

Summer: I don’t think my ass bone could break with all my ass fat protecting it. But it was a SUPER hard fall.

You should put the pictures of your ass on to prove it. Otherwise, it never happened.

Sarah: These were big carrots. Remember you’re the one who enjoys baby carrots. Well, making fun of baby carrots. Oh wait, so do I. But I only eat the big ones.

We all still love your ass anyway.
Where did you go blading?

Laura: We went blading up Provo Canyon. It was awesome. Well, except for the fall. And I’m not referring to the waterfall. I mean the broken ass fall.
