illegitimi non carborundum

I am so smitten with hockey. We had practice again today, and it was so much fun. I'm absolutely thrilled to participate in a team sport again, and to change my body back to In-Shape-Lauren, vs. Squishy-Lauren. I can't wait to bulk up and become muscular again! Feels like it's been forever... probably since playing rugby and training for the AIDSRide. Basically, if a sport can make me feel this good when I've been feeling like ass for the past few days, I know I'm in the right place.

Next goal: skate backwards! It felt better today than it did last week... marginally, but hey, that's something. Bird by bird, right?
