On Tuesday Night I joined a hockey club. What's so great about that you may ask?Well, I haven't played in over 10 years and I although slim, I am not that fit! I was very nervous as I chose to do it alone! So I didn't know anyone and had no clue how I was going to fair! I got there a little early in order to meet some people. I was so shy! Strange for me! Although confidence isn't exactly on a high at the moment!
I was introduced to a few people and then we began fitness training. It was a lot of sprinting and I felt like I was going to die! We were then split into our groups and it was time for some skills training. This I loved! I have always enjoyed playing hockey and skills was always the most fun part to me!
We then went into a mini game, by which time I was knackered. I could barely run! Although I was glad it was over, I had a smashing time and really look forward to the next session. I was complimented on my abilities by the coach which was encouraging considering I haven't played in over 10 years. I have my first match on the 13th September which will be a real challenge.
If there was one thing I have learnt from Tuesday, is that I am faaarrrr from fit! I can hardly walk at the moment and I have the trials on Saturday! What to do!!! Between now and the 13th, I have to do a lot of training to get up to scratch. Tonight I am going to go for a run and then go to the gym every day if I can for a bit of training!
No one said it was gonna be easy!!!
