This is not looking good

First practical of the season coming up, and I'm feeling like crap. Feel so sleepy. And my coffee seems to be adding on the heavy liddedness.

Butt hurts from the game of squash last night. But Mingko and I concluded, yeah, this could possibly be a game we could do. As long as we don't play with boys. Boys are scary. No shit! hurhurhur. No offence, but we girls play in a non competitive manner. Nice and easy to reach for balls smacked right in the middle of the wall. No slamming (not that we have the physcial strength for that anyway) and no cunning back of the court shots, sly drop shots to the front, or misleading side to front wall slams. No sireee no. We play like girls. hahahaha. Plus half the time, we spend prancing around in the court picking up balls. That's also energy spent ok! I wish I could slam a ball like a guy though. The sound of a top speed ball slammed against a wall is one of my favorite sounds in the world (power!). Alas, I can only stomp around the court in the manner reminiscent of a baby elephant. It isn't hard to figure out which court I'm at. Just go to the one that sounds like a safari.

Think I'll skip the climbing tonight. Will do the running and squash bit again tomorrow if there are enough suckers. (Blokey girls unite!!!) Mingko was right. Listening to music does take your mind off the loneliness of a middle distance run.

Pimped A with mixed success last night. After all, other party is also a bloke (ha!) But at least he got hot and sweaty (woohoo!). It'll be his turn to reciprocate soon. Cue my entrance at the next rugby training. lol. Kidding!

hooray for squash! am checking the wikipedia entry now:

"Squash provides an excellent cardio-vascular workout. In one hour of squash, a player may expend 700-1000 calories (3 to 4 kJ) which is significantly more than most other sports. The sport also provides a good upper and lower body workout by utilising both the legs to run around the court and the arms/torso to swing the racquet."

my lower body sure feels the workout, alright.

I think we get a pretty good workout running after balls that don't quite bounce. :D
