volleyball

I did it! I played volleyball! It's funny - for 12 years I've been so possessed by basketball that I haven't even tried anything else. You can compare it to when you become obsessed with one guy and all of a sudden no one else exists. Then you wake up from your fairytale and realise that the world is full of variety. That's me now. Don't get me wrong, I love basketball to bits and if anything tonight made me want to play again more than ever. But volleyball is cool. And there is no contact = less injury prone = good for me. Might actually try and take it up. Of course I should try things, but I honestly don't know what I could do...so many sports are tough on knees etc. Obviously real volleyball is but for a beginner it's fine.

I even scored some points despite no having a clue of what I was doing. Naturally I was conscious of the knee but I jumped and so on without any major troubles. Played about 4 games so not a lot, but I'll consider it a start. Especially as I was thinking to myself beforehand: "You're pushing it, you're pushing it" because I haven't even reached 6 months yet. So a good start.

However this means I will need to push my other training a lot more - starting tomorrow. So not in the mood. I'm out of the flow. And my body is dough so I feel like crap as well. Hm. There's always tomorrow, and tomorrow I will do strength until I can't stand. Then the next day I will run. Come on, lady! Turn this around!
