Catching Up To Where We Are

I have not had extended internet access since Sunday, so I am going to catch the few people who read this blog up on what has happened this week.

MONDAY: NOVEMBER 26, 2007
Mondays at 5:30, we have Summit Games Practice. Some people decided to eat Tacos, literally, five minutes before we started running, so they spent half the night in the bathroom. The girls didn't practice a whole lot. Seeing as there were only five or six of them anyway and two of them spent half the night ready to throw up, they didn't get a whole lot done. Even if they had, I wouldn't be reporting it because I wasn't really watching what they were doing. I can, however, tell you how the guys did.
We started out with a game that improves agility, speed, and endurance. It would have gone well except for people started walking instead of running.
Then we started playing balloon relay. Brian (best friend for those who don't remember) and I were wondering who was faster at the beginning so we tested it. Brian had told me Shaney thought that he was much faster than me. We lined up on the line and Everett judged. He said that we were the same and that there was no difference. We had already determined that I am faster off the back line so I am going to end up being 1st in balloon relay and Brian is going to be 5th.
We moved on to basketball relay and I threw a lot of passes. I don't even remember what happened next (If anything.)
The night ended.

THURSDAY: NOVEMBER 29, 2007
I got there and there was barely anyone there. When people started showing up, we worked on handoffs. After that, we did warmups and stretches. We moved on to tug.
We did two on two on two and I got paired with a guy who had never tugged and frequently let go of the rope. So I was basically pulling by myself. I surprised myself and did really well. I came with in about three inches of getting my beanbag. When I reached back, we lost it and got pulled forward. I planted and we held for about 30 seconds until another team got it. Everyone was shocked because two of the people who are doing tug at Summit got beat by people who aren't going. I didn't believe it and I measured it. Sure enough. Their beanbag was two feet closer than ours. When tugging, the back person is usually right on the white circle line. From that spot, the bean bag is ten feet back. So ours being 10 feet and the other team being 8 feet is a BIG difference. There beanbag was only 4/5 of the way to where it was supposed to be. But no matter, I shocked myself when I found out I could be really good at tug when I wanted to be.
We played some basketball relay and my arms hurt really badly from tug so I was in center one round, the Brian, then we just kept passing it off and everyone took a turn or two in the center. We worked on this and my bounce passes weren't very good.
We played bean bag bonanza after this. I had a pretty good idea and it worked. It apparently looked pretty amazing. The second time I tried it, I tripped and it didn't work like it did the first time. But I'm going to keep practicing and work on it for locals and if it works well there, I am going to do it at Summit.
That is really all I have to report as far as practices.

My co-captain and I got in a fight about her being biased and how I apparently do everything Brian tells me to do. I don't do what Brian tells me to do but, because we are best friends, we almost always have the same ideas and opinions. That being said, I take into account what he thinks and he is usually happy with what I decide to do. So ya, Arielle (co-captain) and I aren't too happy with each other at this point.
