Yeah, yesterday was kind of a downer, and derby practice was balls. The 50-Lap Killer was awful, because of how tired I've been all week, and also because the cold temperatures and my crappy circulation meant that I couldn't feel my toes for the entire thing. This did not do great things for my stride.
Also, one of the new coaches was leading practice, and he's a nice guy, a good skater, and has valuable things to teach us. However, he's not very good at explaining those valuable things, and for some reason, he's physically unable to yell, so that means he can't shout commands when he leads drills. Thanks to those two factors, I subsequently spend at *least* half of the practice having no idea what I'm supposed to be doing, so I have difficulty focusing and putting 100% of my effort into it, and it's frustrating and feels like wasted time. Feh.
Still, the day managed to end on a good note, with delicious curry and Venture Bros. and snuggles. Some of the things I worry about are stupid.
Today's looking pretty shiny. Tomorrow is scrimmage practice with one of the coaches I like much better, and many fun things. And tonight, there will be SmashPutt!
Let's keep the good vibes rolling, shall we?
