Rabbit!

or rabbit rabbit as my kids would say..apparently saying that on the first of the month brings you good luck..or so jillion and my 3rd graders say.

it's been another eventful week here in chula vista. we had off last weekend and watched the champagne classic tournament. the best part was seeing the under14 girls play 7s! they played 12 minute halves (death!) and were really good! i saw at least two girls who are bound to give me the boot from the team..good thing ric wasn't there watching ; )

this week brings our tapering week before hong kong camp begins. we trained monday and tuesday (lifting, speed sessions, practice with ric) and have off today, wednesday. i'm having a glorious day of rest. i slept in, labored through a shower, cooked myself a delicious breakfast..after cleaning up, i strolled to the training center for my 11am massage. barbara, one of the massage experts, went to work on my lower back and glutes-amazing! she even got up on the massage table to drive the knots away! i feel like a million bucks! i just started a new puzzle and that will likely take me through most of the day.

some of the other girls went to yoga, or shopping at the outlet mall down near the mexican border. i'm enjoying having the company of the dixie chicks and the indigo girls with me today.

tomorrow morning we are getting blood work done. i'm not exactly sure what the blood will tell us, but when i find out i'll pass that on. for me this means one thing..no eating after 8pm! that cuts out at least an hour of my daily snack time. looks like it'll be an early night tonight. we were planning to go to the drive in movie to see the lorax, but im not sure i could resist snacking, so i might be out.

after blood work we have a lifting session and an afternoon with ric on the pitch. friday is another day off with massages as we gear up for camp beginning on saturday. camp will be intense and long, but ends with a tournament in hong kong! i've been named to the traveling team and i'm very excited about it! last year i went to this tournament, so i'm interested to see the changes that have occurred with me and the team in a years time.. should be great!
