I still got it

We had a really good time at practice Sunday. It was the first day that I was able to run and I was glad to jog around a little bit. I did not run much because I did not want to over do things. I am still a little worried about re-injuring  my knee. Hopefully it will not give me any more trouble and I will be able to play as soon as the liner for me knee brace gets here. I am hoping that it will not take forever but there is no telling. Apparently the mail is not super reliable here. Today I went to to Polinezkoy (sp?),  a little village east of the city, with some friends. It is a really pretty little town. The snow was melting so things were wet and we didn't get to out and walk much. We also went and got Turkish breakfast at this really cool little place up on the side of the hill. The breakfast was awesome. I love the mix of cucumbers, tomatoes, bread, honey, cream, cheese, jam, and chai. It is filling but light on the stomach, not too mentions delicious. After that we came home and I headed up to the school to help with practice for the University team. I went with a teammate and friend and we had a good time. We went early and I got to go lift weights which was a ton of fun. I benched really heavy and apparently it was not the norm because it drew a crowd. It was odd to have people recording me lift but it was a good day since I almost double 400 lbs. We had a good practice and had a good time building on my relationship with my teammate.
