Ok, time to get sizerious.
So last night at practice, I jammed for the first time. I haven't jammed before because for all the gym time I've logged and aerobics/dance classes/running I've done over the past few years, I'm still no athlete. But last night half the league didn't show up, so we had the bare minimum for scrimmaging. This meant that no one could sit out any scrimmages, and we did a lot of them. The girls who usually jam couldn't jam every time, so finally I said I'd jam.
I did ok on the very first go-round; I used my arms too much but I got through with a lot of help from the pack. And then I pretty much got pathetic. I couldn't even finish the jam. My wind is LAME.
So now I have a new additional goal - to for reals and for serious work on my stamina or endurance or sprinting or wind or whatever you want to call it. Time for speed work and sprinting practice...
In other news, I also pretty much suck at blocking. I really hope I can get good at something besides skating around in circles by April....

OMG, I'm trying to work on my stamina too! I realized this because I still get painfully out of breath when I try to run up the escalator/for the bus and then I'm left panting as I board the bus.
I know you can improve your wind by April, expecially now that you're aware and working on it. You're gonna just blow right past all of 'em!
