Entry FeedLast night was our half way point for hockey. YEAH!!! Almost done, and trying to decide what we should do in the fall, if anything.
A little bit of a epiphany last night - I realized that when you give me a puck to skate with, my feet don't hurt! I've also found that skating is becoming more natural. I think about where I need to go, instead of focusing on how to skate. Also, I think I can stop now, which is completely new. Truly a feat without the toe picks! I sort of do a snow plow stop - not one of those fancy side stops with the snow flying everywhere.
Something else that I noticed last night: my hockey equipment is starting to smell like really hockey equipment. Why does all hockey equipment smell the same? I swear that I have "aired" it out after every week, so what gives? Would fabreeze work? Or should I just leave it and feel more like a real hockey player?
Next week we will start scrimmages, without goalies. I think that I am almost over my nerves about getting on the ice and trying stuff out. I am not great, or even good, but I am not making a complete fool of myself either.
