This sh*t is about to get real.
Seriously, last night was the craziest night ever. The lesson was pretty standard, I have a new coach so we’re getting used to each other and on top of that I’m currently working on changing 16 years of bad position habits now.
Sit up straight, legs further back, shoulders back, arms and wrists light, giving but not giving everything away. Yes. Very confusing. But I’m surviving. Kind of.
I got to Mom’s for dinner and everything was good, but then as I went to get off the sofa to go home, both of my legs had massive leg cramps. The kind that start in your foot and work it’s way up to your bum. And that last all night. Joy. So I wasn’t able to go home because every time I made the motion to get up or straighten my leg, it threatened to cramp again. Just thinking about it makes me tense up in pain. Sigh. Which obviously doesn’t help if you’ve ever had a cramp. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I was even doing the pregnancy breathing in order to relax myself. Didn’t really work. I don’t want to think about how I’m going to be during childbirth. It might be best if Andrew isn’t around for that.
I haven’t mentioned my riding in a bit, I’m still riding Meritage, and I guess the biggest news is that I have a new coach. Her name is Nicole, and so far things seem really good. I like the way she is actually on top of me to fix things, and it doesn’t let me fall back into habits. And I’m just realizing how many bad habits I have… Tsk tsk.
