came to practice all muddy from running thru trails and covered in cuts from the bike incident last sunday. yeah, i felt kinda tough. (and sore...)
after having already gone on a run, my shots were lazy today, just not falling right. i think it was good practice tho - i'm gunna be tired in the middle of a game.
then my coach decided to give me a whole load more of running responsibility...tomorrow we play this team with Raven, this crazy talented and fast girl. im supposed to guard her (zone with some1, ie me, playing man on that one girl. so i have my work cut out for me. excited for the challenge. maybe they'll actually call a foul on me! its really not like me to be excited about that...anyway, i spend the majority of practice running all over the place, and im glad i was already tired by practice because the game tomorrow is gunna be way more tiring. i played my teammate (who was acting as Raven) super tightly and ended up colliding with her head - my already sore nose burned uncomfortably and i quickly licked away blood from my inner lip. i laughed out of surprise, just so shocked about what happened. i dunno, it all seemed so ridiculous for a second. i felt the drip coming from my nose, and sniffed it up as bessed i could, praying that the blood wouldnt come - i hate sitting out. it sucks. luck came my way, and it wasnt until after practice that i found the dry bits of blood. i dunno how much more my nose can take. i just hope i dont get hit again 2morr.
some of my shots started getting better. funniest part: my coach's dad came to watch, and i think he made him nervous. it was especially apparent when he was showing us how to shoot and he missed it twice (with he father standing right behind him). i must say it was hilarious. finally something that makes that guy nervous! i think seeing that actually made me less nervous for some reason.
not as tired as i expected. nursing my tender wounds. at least the worst of them are covered by clothing so i dont have to worry about them getting re-opened (they'd better not cauz i'm wearing a white uniform 2mor).
