I'm broken!
So much for having fun at Touch Footy tonight. On top of being massively tired still from the weekend and work today, I managed to make myself feel worse by taking an injury or two for the team tonight. I've been limping around on a sore ankle since last week at Touch when I twisted it at some stage in the game. I didn't give a care because I had also made my first try for the year, so it was well worth it!
I didn't think I would be much good for running around tonight because of this, but everything seemed to be ok by the end of the first half. This all changed about 7 minutes into the second half when we were given a 10m penalty tap just out from our try line. We were one try down and I wasn't going to let another win slip through our fingers if I could help it.
I snapped the ball up and like a shot I gunned for the line, side-stepping an opposing player and diving for the try. As soon as I hit the ground, I knew I was in trouble. My hip was killing me! Was I shot? Did someone kick me instead of touch me like usual? No. I think I hit the ground a bit weird after twisting my ankle again while sidestepping that player.
So I picked myself up and hobbled off the field in search of some ice. "Oh iiiiiice... Here icey icey!" No ice. But I found two bags of frozen peas. I never thought I could like frozen veges so much. I prefer them fresh! I only hope I can still work ok for the next couple of days. I would hate it if I missed out on the cash. I kinda need it at the moment!
I did end up scoring that try, but we lost the game anyway. No to worry. I had fun on the field while I could walk without a wobble
Luckily I found another player for our team today otherwise we would have been stuffed with only a few male players left. It's a mixed comp and we can only have a max of four males playing at any one time for a 6-a-side game. We now have two or three males from our team side-lined with injuries now. I hope they all recover quickly! I hope I do too!
So in support of that... I'm going to bed for some much needed rest!

Hrrmmm.... Maybe I can con Max into playing... he's pretty fast on his feet! And sneaky too!
