Hello again everyone!
It is about 9:45 here right now. Yesterday we had “gym” which is pretty much just lifting. I haven’t squated since my getting my knee scoped so I am super sore today from that. Then I tried to nap so that I could be up for brads game. Turns out I still think I should be up anyway, so I didn’t get much of a nap and I still easily stayed up for the game haha.
Today we had two training sessions. One was in the morning…outside…on a snow/ice covered field. We worked on throw-ins, so I had to take my gloves off so I could grip the ball, so my hands were frozen!! They had a snow plow thing that plowed the field before we started because it snowed last night.
We also had a second training session tonight. We got to scrimmage for 30 min, so that was fun. Besides us three Americans, there are 2 girls from England and a girl from Estonia who speak English. We all decided that we are going to see if we can take a swedish class to try to learn a little Swedish, and it will pass the time a little. I’m definetely not bored right now, but I think that’s because I want to sleep when we are supposed to be awake still. And it gets dark pretty early, so that makes me tired too. Everyone says it takes a couple of weeks to really start sleeping properly again.
I also learned today that our team takes ice baths. We also do this in the US in the cold tub to help with soreness. The difference here is that they actually have a hole in the ice in the sea water and you go jump in. I guess this will happen on Sunday, so I’ll let you all know how that goes and if I get a cold after haha. Hopefully not hypothermia!
We scrimmage a team from Sweden this sat, so that will be interesting to see how we all play as a team. next Sat the team we play from Sweden has one of the girls I played with this summer on it, so that will be cool to see her all the way across the world!
Talk to ya soon!
Janelle
