Monday night there's a big game of pick-up ultimate, and I decided to go down with a few friends. I played three points in a row, and then took one off for a quick break. Played two more points after that successfully. We were running a zone and it looked really good. But, of course, during the 6th point my knee decided that I had had enough for today, and I had to call injury. I don't think I did any real damage, but I'm definitely not ready for more high speed ultimate yet. It's frustrating, but I think I'm going to have to bit the bullet and pay the 360$ for a gym membership. I need to be lifting, and strengthening this knee. Or at the very least, work back into ultimate a little bit slower. Wednesday night play is a lot slower, and more my level for right now.
Apart from feeling frustrated right now, I'm getting more motivated to get back into things. I actually forgot what it felt like to be playing ultimate. To be honest, I'm not sure if I ever knew what it really felt like, but this was a reminder. I remember what I want, and I know what I need to do to get it. I just need to do it. I just need to do more.
