I went to fencing practice all motivated to get a good workout. I arrived on time, stretched, warmed up, stepped onto the field... and our first exchange caused a mild twinge in my right trapezius. We fenced for about fifteen minutes while the twinge grew to an intermittent complaint. I took a short break, then stepped out to fight Nomad. I lasted all of 10 minutes before I realized I was being really stupid. I stopped fencing for the day.

Ice, ibuprofen, and soon a heating pad. I hope this is just a result of me sleeping on it funny, or something, and not anything that will interfere with me fencing from sunup til sundown for a week at Pennsic.

Sigh. I'm too young for my body to be this belligerent.
