Sore ankle and everything is on hold for a day

I may or may not have mentioned it here but I play floor hockey once a week. I’m not very good…but I try awfully hard. The game lasts 45 minutes and I usually play about 25-35 minutes of the game. It’s a pretty intense 30 minutes. Running, body slamming, name calling. It’s fantastic.
I usually get dizzy about five minutes into the game and then everything becomes crystal clear. You have to understand that as a kid I rarely played any games because of my severe asthma. I couldn’t run without fainting. It was horrible. Now I feel like I’ve just discovered a different form of sex. I get the same type of high. Light headed, body exhausted but so damn proud of myself. I suddenly understand why some people like working out. For the longest time I never got it but then again I never really tried.
One of the things that always stopped me from working out is that I don’t know *how* to work out. I don’t know what I should do, or what the machines target. Now that I’ve joined a gym I’m so friggin’ excited to actually start. I’ve been way too busy with long hours at work last week to actually start though which makes me sad.
I had planned on starting today and then it dawned on me…uh you need to buy shoes and some work out clothes. I have crappy airwalk shoes that will not support me at all. They work for the 30 minutes of floor hockey, usually, but last night because of my shoes I twisted my ankle pretty badly. Then we actually have to deal with the pants.
It’s a women’s only gym, but still I don’t think that the other ladies want to see my ass crack or saggy pants. I’m assless so pants rarely stay up but there is no reason why other people should have to suffer because of my asslessness.
So the conclusion that I’ve come to is that I plan on going shopping today after work and buy a pair of shoes and workout pants. Then my training starts tomorrow!
Woho!
