Ok, so its been a little while since i last wrote.......my knee was more fucked than i thought and eneded up having to take about a week off from derby. I went back last friday...wow it, i certainly noticed the difference from missing a week.....knee wasnt 100 percent yet, there was somethings that i wasn't able to do, like the drop falls but i worked around it....slowly.....
when my knee was screaming at me and my head was pounding i called it quits, while talking to Pixel Ninja i mentioned that my head was pounding, it had come on suddenly, and was fucking nasty. He asked if i was drinking enough water and yes i certainly was, so he suggested gatorade...g2 to be exact. So i left practice and on my way to work, i stopped and bought some, as well as advil, just in case........i started drinking it even before i paid for it, lol and what do you know.....g2 saved my life, by the time i got to work, my headache was gone...and so was the g2. I am now a believer!!!
Soooo, now we bring ourselves to Monday night practice, this is the last week for arena practices....sad but true....and so ends the kiddie pool...scared you ask??? terrified......fucking terrified, but up for it! posted on the wall was the list, they are splitting us into two groups, group a and group b...i checked the list, i mean, i fully knew which group i would have been put in, let be real but i checked it anyway....group b baby!! and we start earlier, so yayyy! this is gonna work out just fine for me, with working nights, and the coaches will get a good shot at killing me :)
Last week, i had been talking to Dii Mented, she was saying how i have to work at not being so scared to move faster than a confused turtle...my words, not her's....so tonight, i gave it a go...now...let me stop here and say, my perception of how fast i was moving was probably differnt from any onlookers, but i swear, i was doing about 66 miles per hour.....seriously, actually felt my hair blow in the wind!! and have to say i kinda liked it!
i have also noticed that no longer do i take a couple strides, to get myself going...then coast to a stop cause i get scared, i can actually keep a steady pace.......fuck me im proud! i actually skate! like constant perpetual motion skate....weeee!!!!!!!!!!!
i know im kinda jumping around her, but im on my 3rd coffee....dare me to drive? so try to be patient...lol
ok, so im skating, and gliding and turning, yes, still can turn like a champ, but muscles in legs are screaming and cursing me......fucking hell that shite hurts...im told your doing it right if its hurting......well give this girl a gold fucking star, cause it hurts! lol.......feeling pissed cause my knee is taking about 10 years to feel better, and so the drop falls are still out of the question...so i skate while they fall...look ma!! human pilons!! and i didn't even hit anyone! score one for sai dystic!!
.........now comes the time where we are going to do the zombie drag....i have never done this, tonight is the first time. you slide your front foot ahead of you and then drag you foot that is behind you up to meet the front one....sounds fun eh? sweet mother of gawd...hurt, hurt?? i'd take a real zombie over zombie drags any day!! lol
i made it through without falling....which was a real concern since my legs were noodles....and then we were told to duck walk..yep its exactly what you are picturing.......now my whole body is vibrating.....my legs are jimming all over the place...i made it to the blue line.....barely.....that right there boys and girls is a whole new kinda hurt...between that and the zombie drag......but i did it....and then my legs just werent going to hold me up any more, my knee was angry too.....i bailed at that point.....shameful i know.....but in my defence i also had a daughter that needed her fro tamed for the start of school the next day.....kind of frustrating that my legs are finished far sooner than the rest of me....
** side note.....i will be back..(said in terminator voice)...slow going.......painful....sweaty and........i love it......don't know where this journey is going to take me....it may be years before i get to skate with the big girls, but i will someday....or die trying...which seriously, after the zombie drags, yeah that might be a real possiblity.....and i have been informed that next practice im going to be expected to wear my skates from the dressing room onto the arena floor.....pray for me....and Alise T Kill??? bring that first aid kit! :)
