I know you just sang that title in your head 
But really…first day on the job today…just lots of training (CPR and First aid…even though I already have them..and harassment and such but ya know..gotta be there).
Let’s up to the weekend though, shall we? Well it wasn’t anything too crazy and I actually worked half of it besides having a full day off Sunday..wahoo! What did I do on this day?
FIELD HOCKEY!!!
Yesterday I had my first game as a Green Dragon! The league has about 5 teams in it and we play at an amazing prep school in Baltimore, equipped with two turf fields that are super nice. This is about an hour-ish drive from my house and I went down with my friend Lauren who I played hockey with in my high school years!
It’s so nice to be playing my absolute favorite way to exercise..I literally LOVE competition..i love sports and that atmosphere…not in a crazy I MUST WIN OR DIE kind of way but I like being competitive.. (okay that MIGHT be a tad true in that Drew and I can’t play games even like words with friends because we both like to win haha..) But seriously this league is just for fun..guys play, people in their 50-60′s play..just a good time all around!
Of course playing for the first time since April means that my body is hurting all over soooo what do you do ?
Torture…and compression..yup..lots of compression. Seriously kicking myself for not having compression shorts cause thats the most of my body that’s hurting!
Oh, and of course you foam roll with a buddy watching you!
I honestly hope I’m able to walk tomorrow. That’s not a joke. Staying so low in field hockey puts quite the hurt on your butt and quads…just try to run in a squat position! I’m also starting to realize that you don’t quite recover like you did when you were in your teens haha. but really your does sooo not do that.
I also finished Week 2 of Live Fit trainer and have really been loving it. I feel like I’ve gained a lot of muscle already! I’m excited to get to week 3! Off to training for the day and then tomorrow is the acutal first day of school! AHH!
- How was your weekend? Anything exciting or fun?
- If you could do any sport as an adult summer league what would you play?
Good luck @ your first day of work girl
Hope you enjoy it!!
Field hockey sounds crazy but super fun! I play in a softball league now and was in a kickball league before that. I love it! Happy Monday!
I just think this is awesome that you get to post. I really admire you for taking that step. I bet your body is sore! I have been dying to do live fit but haven’t committed to it. I only want to do the fitness aspect but I just need to get my butt to the gym!
Congrats on your first game, you must have had so much fun being back playing the sport you love! Awesome
I was compressing this weekend too haha
I just started using compression sleeves for my shins and Aspaeris compression pivot shorts and they are the bomb.com. haha (Apparently I have teleported into the 90′s.) Anyway, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a basketball league, my friend and I have talked about it. We just need to find one around here!!
Cute pink compression socks!! I always wished I had a chance to learn soccer!!
Haha I totally sang it out loud! I hope you have a great first week on the job!! Awesome that you are back playing hockey! Such a great way to exercise- doing what you love!! If I had the time id join another soccer league.
