Great day back!

Today was the first time I have done anything substantial at practice in what feels like forever!!!!  but it seemed like giving my knee the time has really worked.  I was able to have a full jump day today with no pain at all!!!!! So exciting!!  Today was our one big jump day before tech on saturday.  Started off with the normal warm ups.  Short approaches felt pretty good.  Even my full runs felt fine!  First couple were a little awkward looking but then i just used to the tape on my knee and was just fine.  Thought it would be a good idea to just go straight to my big pole today since i know that that is what it will take to get over the heights i need to this weekend.  My first jump on the big pole was a bit of a mess.  Didnt make it past the box, and came crashing down.  Managed to get pracitcally over the side of the mat, and all my gymnastics training paid off.  Just collapsed when I hit the ground and got up just fine!!!  Think I gave Maggie a heart attack though :)  Shook me up for a min, but then grabbed the shorter pole and went up no problem!  Took three jumps with the bungee at 3.40 then 4 more at 3.70.  I have a major problem with jumping to the bungee.  My jumps at 3.40 were just as close as my jumps at 3.70...not good, something I have to work on in my head for the next few days.  Also, I am still not going up the way I need to be.  Hopefully, I will be able to get things to click in during friday pre-meet and saturday's meet!  Getting really excited!! and really looking forward to spring break! itll be nice to have a change of pace!
