Lotsa firsts at tonight's practice...Even though Gerle Haggard's car was in the lot I didn't think of knocking when I got to the arena and the doors were locked..So I sat outside in the heat and listened to Atmosphere at Outside Lands Live...I'm not sure if they did that song I like or not since they played past when I went inside...
The first first was my first time watching someone, (Stihl Queen) read this Sweet Alyce Blog... :)
The up and down on the knee drills with Sheeda tonight were a challenge...my legs started to hurt pretty quick..maybe I hadn't stretched out enough...got through that "wall" and then we did a few relay's back and forth which are always fun - going FULL-BLAST INTO the wall...(which I did only once even though I went on one knee to stop I was still going to fast so my skate hit the wall)...
Walking on my toes I realized helps be feel VERY much more stable in my skates. I suggested to Sheeda that we incorporate the on the tow jumping jacks into stretching and she asked if I would like to do the after practice stretching. I said yes...(scary...) But I did it and no biggie...except that it hurts today because I also did leg lifts with our gear on during the end-stretching period and that was hard...But I did really enjoy the jumping jacks on the toes.
A little out of order here, but towards the end we teamed up and did a couple jams...Good thing it caught me off guard when I saw my self lined up on the jam line with Kilaron...(*dun dun dunnnnn* that's supposed to be a sound effect)...anyway...I was scared for a sec...She did great and went right in front of me to the inside line...I think I usually been on the outside at the start in the past)...She went to lead jammer and then I'm not sure exactly what happened...it was kind of a blur...I had to pee right after that and next I saw her on the bench nursing her poor split open blister on her foot...

Here's a pic from that jam that Pinkie Lee took....I didn't know it was me when I first saw it...
After all was said and done, we had our after practice yack session out front and then Nikki, RevRa, Gerle and Sheeda and I all went to Steve's Bar...where the lovely and talented Sheeda bought me a couple beers which I will gladly repay her on our next night out...(thanks Sheeda!)...and the final first of the night was the bartender asking us to sign the back of the Sierra Mountain Times article about us from this past week. That was fun. It gave me the idea to get us all to sign one and put it up on the display case board at the arena..so I will have to remember to do that...
No extra pics tonight...gonna bask in the glory of my first cool action shot... and in B&W to boot..my favorite... :)
