Hockey lessons

I skated today for the second week in a row with a lunch time adult hockey league. After sucking wind in week 1, I paced myself with very short shifts through the first have of the hour session. By the end, I was tired, but had way more energy than the prior week. I could actually compete on my last shift. Yet another lesson that it's all about pacing. So important for running and, as it turns out, hockey. I wish I would've figured that out two years ago! Would have saved me a lot of exhaustion on the ice over the past couple of seasons.

Oh, and I scored two goals. Can't beat that feeling.

You've got to keep it to short shifts otherwise you're hurting your team.

Were they nifty goals? you found the handle. Nice.
