forgiveness

saturday 8 march: women’s day. we celebrated it by training in the hot afternoon sun. we warmed up passing the ball in groups of 7 up and down the pitch. nice long passes and depth is what mutaks was looking for. after that we worked on an attack move. a couple of explanations and demonstrations later, we had the gist of it. several repetitions later, mutaks got us to try and do it against a defence. hmmh. we will probably need to work on that more next week.

mutaks asked ann to stretch us but we first started with our usual. we were up to 35 pressups, 35 situps but the bridge remained at 50. we’re targeting 100 of each by mid april. i managed 24 pressups at a go then my arms gave way. the rest of the team finished theirs and before we could move on i confessed that i still had 11 to go. i struggled to finish my 11 but only only do them 3 at a time. the team joined me to encourage me so they actually did a total of 46 pressups to my 35. sit-ups were next but those were not so bad. we finished up with the bridge and we cheated by counting too fast. we forgave ourselves though :)

mutaks asked us to carry boots and sneakers on monday. i’m starting to enjoy the hill runs, seriously, and no, the heat is not driving me nuts.

2 weeks to Tunisia. it’s approaching the end of winter there. maybe it should rain here so we can acclimatise …
