a lil R and R

Yay!! We finished off league in 2nd place! It was a great season and we played some great matches. And I was very happy to be able to play in the last 2 matches of the season! I didnt want to go into playoffs after my injury without playing in some matches to get the rythem of the game back. My ankle is doing pretty good, it still hurts when i make certain movements, im still a lil slower than normal and it still swells up after practices, but its getting better!
Since we finished league in 2nd place our team has a bye until the semifinals, which start on March 24th. So we got about 2 weeks off before we have to play the first game. It is definitely a much needed break. Playing non stop volleyball for about 7 months in a row can take a toll on your body and everyone has aches and pains so it was good to be able to take some time off and just rest. We had practices and weights but very light and no jumping. The playoffs will be brutal on our body because the semis and finals are a best of 7 series and we play the games pretty much back to back. There is a possibility that we can play 14 matches in about 3 weeks. But hey thats what playing a sport is all about, who can rise up to the challenge and play their best!




So during my time off I mostly rested, slept alot,watched alot of movies and took some walks around town. The weather is changing for the better and the sun is coming out of hiding alot more now! Dont be fooled tho, it is still about 0 degrees out, but it was so beautiful outside! Here are some pics from my walk around the lake, which is till frozen over.
