Basketball

Today I learned that I usually do a decent job defending against Kristi when she's posting up, because I don't get too close to her so she can't easily pivot around me.

Posting Up and Layups

Today after basketball I had Cathy Peterson stay behind and give me a quickie basketball lesson. I kinda get the basics of posting up and layups but never really try to do them. She was having me post up on the hoop side to get passes up over the head of the defender and get an easy shot. I really want to be able to post up on the other side and turn and shoot but I just can't do it. As far as layups go, I was almost starting to get the hang of it. I made like five in a row and then I had Cathy halfway guard me (like two feet away, not anywhere near close enough to actually get the ball), and I missed every time. D'oh.

Henry, Basketball, and Adam

Today I learned that Henry is much cuter after he has a bath, and that I don't like it when lots of people show up to basketball because it's too crowded. I also learned that Adam can, on occasion, get up before 6am.

Basketball and Reese's Pieces

Today I learned that sometimes I still really don't like basketball but that I'm much better than I was when I started playing here in Klamath Falls. Granted, I started out pretty bad so that's not saying much. I'm thankful for a very nice group of women here that I typically feel comfortable playing with despite my poor skills.

I also learned that one serving of Reese's Pieces is 190 calories for 52 pieces. You may think that 52 pieces is a lot, but I assure you it is a surprisingly small volume, especially for a candyoholic like me.

Basketball

Today I learned (again) that if I don't exercise for two weeks and then try to play basketball, I will have a hard time running up and down the court a bajillion times. In other news, I'm thinking about trying to run a 5k next month and I am not a runner...
