I played hockey three days in a row and I have officially kicked my own ass. I'm sore and tired but still glad I did it. After a particularly hard fall on my ass during Saturday's class (who knew that there's an advantage to pivoting the right way?) I invested in some new, badass ass pads. I bought the women's version, which fits differently, but way better than the crappy guy's model I'd been sporting. I usually don't wear my pants around my waist so it felt weird at first but knowing that my ass was protected by more than just itself makes it all OK.
