I thought i was gonna die...

So yesterday was another of my really busy days, work and all that regular things and I'm supposed to get a lot prepared for Stockholm Rollerderbys annual meeting on Saturday... I really do not have the time... Grrr...

Well, so I got a gymcard from work, and I'm really excited about that - so I decided to take a class right after work, and of course I left work too late and missed it. And decided to join Britta on a run with her gym, and OMFuckingG I thought I was gonna die. We ran and ran, there were intervals and most of all it was freaking negative twelve degrees outside...

I do admit - it felt FANTASTIC afterwards and I am happy I did it, but seriously I feel like I deserve a medal or something... I am not kidding, going running in this cold weather does not make you look sexy at all... Snot pouring out of your nose and breath freezing your lungs... Oh yeah... I miss running on the beach of Natal in Brazil!

And its getting warmer - but I do prefer snow over rain... I guess I am never happy...

Well, this is in Celsius... but still...

Maybe moving inside is a good idea...

What I wore at practice today:

Winter running tights,
sweatpants made into shorts
socks
legwarmers
sports bra
Helly Hansen longsleave
t-shirt
sleaveless hoodie
down-vest
scarf
scrimmage shirt
....and I was still feeling a little chilli...

Today was our last practice at Ekvallen, it's sad since its free and we have a taped track there, and to be honest we have no clue were we are gonna practice for the rest of the year... Yikes! Well, until we can be at Ekvallen again... the reason we have to leave Ekvallen is not because it's getting to cold, but because they are turning it into a real ice-hockey rink... with actual ice on it... yikes...

On the bright side I found a detergent with my name... Yeah my real name - not my derby name...
AND it's BEST IN TEST! They might just mean me!

BEST IN TEST!

Last practice for STRD of 2012 at Ekvallen

Practice with Pain again

I know, I say it over and over again, it's fall, I am cold, my bed feel empty, I cuddle by myself and I have a cold creeping into my life. I long for a warmth that isn't here, and ginger, garlic and lemon just isn't helping.

I have a muscle knot in my back, and turning my head makes pain shoot down the spine, makes me shiver and makes me feel even sicker. My throat is sore, and the sun is gone, it's cold, sweaters, pants, jackets and warm socks required... I wanna be home - wrapped up on my couch, but soon I'm on my way to practice, soon I will be warming up my stiff body, running, jumping and breathing the air of the summer that is gone, neglecting the pain until it's there no more pain and only joy left.
