Still Hurting

Soccer. Soccer, and more Soccer. In the middle of going for my black belt, I am also coaching a U10 girls soccer team. I'm an assistant coach and mostly just do technical work, speed and agility training but it's a part-time job on top of being a mother of two, a wife of a traveling husband, Pool service, housekeeping, laundry, and friend to a handful of people fighting cancer. Yeah, I'm busy. We had Independence Cup today. We won both of our games which sets us up nicely for a championship round. The girls played well in 112 degree heat. Oy. Amazing how hot temperatures increase irritability on sidelines which irritates the referees, which irritates the players, which irritates the coaches and the circle goes round and round. My kingdom for a firehose....Took today off from training after two-a-days all week. I pulled a muscle in my right thigh right before my belt test yesterday. Today, I went to kick a ball and the thing tightened right back up. I have a very painful charlie horse and am ice massaging and stretching best I can. No wall kicks with ankle weights for awhile. I hope this isn't one of those injuries that lingers for very long. I haven't got much time and I need to be jumping and kicking. Tomorrow we head to San Diego. Looking forward to some beach time. I hope this leg thing doesn't impact my surfing schedule! HA!
