I am back in CT now enjoying the amazing spring weather! I love this time of year, not only is the weather turning but basketball is on tv all day! I filled out my first bracket this year, not sure how I feel about it. It was only 5 for a house pool but now I can't get swept away by all the upsets anymore as it ruins my bracket! I guess I am just not a gambler.

After spending a month enjoying home and SLC I knew my foot was going to hurt a little as I skipped physio for the most part. I was pretty pleased when I left home because while there was pain it wasn't strong enough to affect my workouts or daily living. A few days ago I went back to physio and was disheartened to hear that all was not good my hips were all out of line again (no idea how/why) he got them moving properly again and worked on my ankle which now all of sudden has no dorsi flexion. Every once in a while when walking I will experience a sharp pain so I am back in the pool for the next few days to see if I can get it right again. I read an article in Fitness magazine about being addicted to working out, I sadly answered yes to 8 out of the 9 questions. Apparently if you answered yes to just one you should re think your relationship with exercise! I am going to go ahead and call out my big sis... following in her footsteps!

We have a pretty good summer planned. We are actually getting two international teams to come play us in Canada!! For all you BC people we have Chile and Sweden coming in to play some friendlies. Pretty exciting we rarely get the opportunity to host and while I love to travel I am excited to play in front of my family and friends! Not to mention the long training camp will be so close to the comforts of home. Nothing like a real bed and home cooked meal to break up the month and a half of two a days! After BC we have two weeks off and then off to Kitchener Waterloo for a quick training session. We are off to France, Greece and then the Czech for Worlds!

With that summer planned I am working on getting my body right!
