Oh my. So much fun. Hugest grin plastered on my face while running laps around the pitch... Kinda funny, eh? And hoooly, am I ever out of shape: but, I will definitely getting back to where I was, and getting far beyond that.
*insert evil laugh here*

Although OUCH, today hurts. And I love it (That kinda goes back to dear PERLS 104, and the lecture on how athletes enjoy pain, doesn't it?)...

Lets see, what else? Finally got over that wonderful sickness of mine... Still on the lookout for a job that requires no lifting whatsoever (even though it feels like I can, must avoid that at all costs!), and with pretty good hours... I'm working for a trainer supervising hockey training sessions (ladders, speed drills, that sort of thing, real fun it is!) two/more times a week, which is awesome, except for not being able to go to Rockers on Thursdays...

The rugby team that I'm co-coaching is doing SUPER well... They run over pretty much everyone, and I love it! Now if only we could get them to continually show up to practice... Only two (if we win next week) or three (if we lose and then win, which won't happen because they're amazing!) games left...

Ooooo, big news! The little sissy is headed to Wales next year! And the year after! She got a scholarship to attend school over there, so you know what that means!!!! ROAD TRIP!
*second evil laugh*
Which also means that I'm becoming the white cat's surrogate mother, which...is ok. I suppose. He smells funny though. Especially when he takes it upon himself to hiss in your face for no good reason. Yuuuuk.

Finland's coming over this summer, which I'm super excited about! August 6th-unknown date... Gonna have to squeeze that departure date out of her... But, that'll come in time, I suppose.

Uhm. Gotta header for a dog walk! Laaaaaaaters!

I always loved running -- it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs.
[Jesse Owens 1913-1980, American Olympic Track Athlete]

Lalalaaaa!

Oh so much has happened.

Injury report:
I'm out of my sling, as of April 27th, and that was an amazing day. I had my first physio appointment that morning, and she said that I could possibly be running in three weeks! :)
That's super exciting, as it means I'll be able to train (granted, it's only running, but still! Be happy for me) and not lose nearly as much cardio... I didn't expect to be able to run until July, so that was great news...
So far, all I've got are ROM (range of movement) exercises, combined with working the muscles that control my scapula... As it sat in a sling for six weeks, there was no need for anything requiring stabilization, so the muscles relaxed... A lot. Kinda funny, really. The next appointment's this Friday, aka, tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that too...

Aaaaand, I get to do fitness testing this summer! Talked to A, and he said "theoretically, I owe you one", which means I get to do a VO2... Heh. Not really worried about the rest, I just like the VO2.

Hopefully I can make it back for next year... But, we'll see, I'm not rushing this!

School:
I survived my first year! Yaya! So happy to be finished... Already registered for next year, in courses that interest me far more than this year's did, which is really nice, looking forward to it (I can't believe I just said I'm looking forward to school).

Work:
Putting together a resume, and sending it off to... Hmmm. Who knows where? Hopefully I'll get to do BVJ again this year... I need to do something to keep me sane with no sports!

I'll keep going later...
