After a prolonged absence - I'm back! For the last few years, I've played netball with a couple of Uni friends, their siblings, my relatives, friends and an assortment of ring-in's! Unfortunately I didn't play the second half of last year due to a very dodgy foot that I now wear orthotics for (that part of me is definitely Nannerish!). I realised towards the end of last year that my foot will probably never feel 100%, but it is OK most of the time, so I'm back! For the first time in 8 months I played netball last night and we won - YAY! The funny thing is most of us are close too or in our 40's (sorry Georgina), but the other team were all young (early 20's if not younger) and called Granny's Girls and we beat them 37-27! I actually had fun which you will not often hear me say about anything even vaguely related to exercise! I was purple in the face, puffing and sweaty (sorry for that unpleasant visual image), and may not walk properly all day, but I enjoyed it. Bring on next week I say! Now where's my cup of tea and knee rug...?
