This morning I went for a 2 hours hike and I wasn't tired at all, in fact I was leading on the way back! :) The work outs have certainly paid off! I'm also pretty happy given I was having a breathing problem.
For some reason, while I was cantering a couple of days ago, my chest felt very heavy and with each bounce in the canter I can feel the pressure of something crushing down inside me. After that, it hurt every time I take a deep breathe.
Not sure how this suddenly happened, it maybe because of the roller coaster ride that I went on a few days earlier during Halloween inside Knott's scary farm. I walked away from the ride with a hoarse voice, bruised knees and pelvic bones. You think how can someone get this from just a ride, well I was super anxious and tense thus my body must have been rigid and was likely bashing around in the roller coaster cage. Arghh...it really gets to me that I'm can't enjoy roller coasters and other awesome rides. I see others having so much fun and I'm just so damn envious.
Or it could be because of my horse fall a couple of weeks ago where I got winded. And speaking of horse riding, I got a flat tire the other night after a riding lesson.
It was dark and I wanted to get home quickly but thought I'd better change the flat tire so I pulled into a gas station to borrow some light. I have to say that my car jack thing is pretty inefficient (at least how I was using it). A cute guy came and asked if I needed any help, I said no I will be okay although I know I was not, he ended up leaving but came back to make sure I was okay, I just ignored him (I have to stop doing this). Of course, the bolts were rusted and although I hate to say this, I wasn't strong enough to unscrew them, so I decided to risk it and drive home in my flat tire. On the freeway, my car suddenly went stagnant at 50miles/hr and slowly died down as I smelled the horrible stench of burning rubber. Damn! I pulled over to the emergency stopping lane and called Geico. The Geico guy assumed that I must be scared, hm not particularly given I got myself into this mess. 40min later a tire changer guy came but it was too narrow for him to work since I was parked on a bridge. Long story short, CHP (California Highway Patrol) dropped by and stopped all traffic so that my car can safely rumble off the freeway. So yeah, because of my flat tire the 134E freeway was temporarily shut down.
