En Garde!...ah!...ow....

- Apr. 21, 2002 - 5:43 p.m.-

So, I injured my right thigh just in time for a LaserTag outing some of my coworkers are attending. Greaaaat.

I was outside yesterday afternoon practicing my lunges with my foil. For those of you not knowing, fencing(swordsmanship) is one of my dearest hobbies. My lunge is still right on, but my disengage still sucks. Be it as hard as I try I can't help but to move my wrist. Argh!

I was swinging the weapon so that it was moving in a figure 8 infront of me, and to the side of me. My next intentions were to then pause for a millisecond so that I could recover to En Garde, and then lunge!

So I did. But it didn't work too well. I overextended, and ended up with my heels still together, and squatting very low to the ground with my weapon pointing striaght ahead. Ow.

I pulled my thigh in two opposite directions. Which I did after my first fencing lesson. But the first time was because I was standing in the En Garde position for the majority of an hour. This time, I was having too much fun. And I didn't stretch first! D'oh!

So, my WHOLE leg ached like hell for a short while. And today, I can't even bend my leg 90 degrees. It hurts too much. And I'm limping too.

So, I'm going to hope that my leg heals unrealisticly fast by Tuesday so as I may LaserTag! Eek! But as for now, LaserTag looks iffy. :(
