Saturday, two games of netball, won both (smashed both, actually!) and one sore knee.
I only played one quarter of the first game, but the whole of the second. Man it is so awesome to be back! Our team did some beautiful plays and passes (and some ugly ones, but let's not think about those haha), and everyone was soo lovely!
To be honest, my knee was a bit sore.
BUT THEN...
My awesome friend Kylie came over to my house and gave it a mean as sports massage. I LOVE having PE and dietian friends lol
So, things I learnt about giving a massage
1. Massage in the direction of the blood flow, i.e., towards the heart. Don't know why this is, but just do it.
2. The harder you go, the slower you go.
3. Massage with a flat hand to begin with, to warm the muscle up. Then you can use thumbs/fingers/knuckles/noses/ears whatever tickles your fancy.
3. Shave your legs before you have a leg massage
4. Don't leave the Anti-Flamme on the floor with the top open, and accidentally stand on it so anti-flamme goes everywhere. My room is going to smell like peppermint for days.
Yes I know there are two threes. I was lazy.
Kylie also said that my right knee was close to going too. So she's offered to give me another one on Tuesday!! AND we found powerade in her car right when I said I felt like one, AND she found some lipgloss in there too. What a great day!!!!!
