I don't know why but I have been having major problems logging into my blog. Finally I am here and hopefully this post cooperates. Yes, spring is in the air, FINALLY. My god, I thought winter would never be over. I spent last weekend gardening and cleaning up the yard. I actually got a tan. Praise the lord!! I also busted out my outdoor skates (read: crappy skates) and tried my best to fix 'em all up. I put my outdoor wheels on them, taped them up nice and good, put in brand new laces, and we're good to go. I haven't actually skated outside yet but plan to soon, especially after an evil, hour long walk over the weekend. I just don't feel right without wheels on my feet. The sad news is that "The Slam" has a knee injury and scrimmaging is not coming easily. The even sadder news is that next Monday is tryouts for the B Team and my knee is still fracked (the censored version of the F word). If I have any hopes of playing this season this is my last chance. I am trying not to get too upset about it all but I must admit that I am having a tough time of it. I am finally within reach of my goals and I feel it all slipping through my fingers. Well, if all else fails, at least I have the summer and outdoor skating. The major problem for my knee is high impact falls. OUCH!! These are not really the falls where I'm hit but more the ones that are unexpected, ie... wheels locking with another player. These falls send me flying and never end well. The irony is that it is never during scrimmage that these falls occur. It is always when someone trips me, just skating around, because they suck. Just kidding. They don't suck but it does blow. Arhhgg!! My inner pirate comes out when I feel like this. I will let you all know what happens after tryouts. Please think of me on Monday and send good vibes to my knee.
XOXO,
SLAM
