Good Ache

Today I ache. My joints and muscles throb a bit for I have gone the past 9 out of 11 days to a room in Portsmouth where, for an hour and a half, in 110 degree heat, I push and pull my body into positions of strength, stretching and compression. It is changing me, healing me, making me better. I feel this doughnut around my waist slowly shrinking. I see my muscles begin to be defined. I must continue for I wish more than most things to improve my body temple.
