Just got back from Hockey. Muscles thathaven't been used since I last stepped foot on the ice are making themselves heard at the moment, but in a good way. I feel like I'm back doing what I'm supposed to be doing. We had about 2 hours of ice time but we only played for about an hour and a half which was more than long enough. It was pick-up and we had nine players and two goalies, so we played five-on-four with three players on the ice at a time. Us goalies switched ends about half-way through (when I took the lead and called a water break. They all thought it was a good idea), but the teams didn't. I think that this is exactly the right speed of the game for me, all the players were good but not so good that I felt like an out-of-shape failure and everyone was on about the same level of play. I got a lot of goals scored on me, but so did the other goalie, and we weren't counting anyway. Besides I started off the night with a great glove save (go me!).
There was talk of seeing if we could split the time to one hour, two nights a week since there was no way we could all play for the full two hours, so we'll see how that works out. Also there were two guys there tonight who played with us (thankfully they weren't stupid boys, and passed a whole lot, and weren't that much better than everyone else), so maybe I'll see if my boys want to come out sometime (so long as they can behave themselves).
I'm so happy I'm got my gear here! (thanks Mum!)
But now I'm going to bed, because I am le tired.
