HI Everyone!!!!

Today I started to do a little more stricking with the ball. I find it funny that my injured leg is better at kicking than my healthy leg. Its going to be a slow process because I have to teach myself the mechanics again. And my left foot shot was a little shady before I tore my ACL hahhah. So lots of work to be done in the next few weeks.

With a few people behind this decision. I have decided to go to Sweden Aug 2 to continue playing. I really need to get into game enviornments to test the waters and get better for the next Breakers season! I WILL MISS EVERYONE....but no worries technology is still big in Sweden and I can blog!.......Actually I will blog 24/7 because I will have no life outside of just training! :) So hope you dont get annoyed haha

Now to the fun non serious things.

A friend of my recently took me on a helicopter ride of Boston. I know your asking yourself why am I so special??? Well like I tell everyone DREAM BIG and you never know what happens hahah.

At first it was a little scary and uneasy...but you get use to it. It felt like you were hovering over a big pocket of air and anytime you could fall. Floating on air does not seem to safe but its definitely something you should experience!

First question I asked our pilot was....is this safe? OF COURSE his response was its relatively safe! Not what I was expecting to hear....but he had a sense of humor and made it a good time! I might as well die laughing right?

Take a look at a few videos I took! And try not to be too jealous.

My favorite part of the experience was being so close to the buildings....that I could wave and people could  see me! Not sure if they got a little nervous seeing a helicopter right outside of there office at 9 in the morning. But nothing like getting a little wave bright and early!

I asked Nesto what his favorite part was and here is what he had to say...

Nesto: "Being able to see the place I spent most of my time from a completely different perspective. Reinforces the idea that I still have a lot to see."

Nesto.....Thank you for taking me!!!

WOW!!!!!! First off I am sorry for not blogging in SUCH a long time! I really have no excuse because its not like my life is super busy. If you call eating and napping busy.....then look out I am stressed!

Knee:

Couldnt be better. I recently ran the beep test with the team. That was a huge day for me just because it really allowed me to compare my fitness level with all the ballers we have on the breakers. Needless to say I did a lot better than I expected! Doont want to brag....BUT I AM. I reached the goal that Tony had set for us in Preseason. Whewwwww!!

Hoping to start striking and doing some shooting this week. Dont think its strong enough to strike a ball like Kasey Moore. ( which by the way you should read Tiffanys blog and watch her video. Her and Chama Mama think kasey can kill someone with her strike) So I am not quite there yet or think I have ever been there....but its soemthing to strive for.

Other than that not much is going on in my life! I have a lot of random stories to be told.

- I am a hippie at heart. I have recently gotten very fond of Cambridge. Love going to vintage shops and shopping for hippie dresses or anything unusual that I know I can wear in cambridge.

- Dont be surprised if one day I have dreds from not brushing my hair!

- Recently told someone great advice!!!  Put bandaids on his nipples so his shirt wouldnt rub..........All worth wild when I saw his priceless face and sounds while trying to pull them off!!!!!!! HILARIOUS

-Love reading my agents Blog about the World Cup. Gives me lots of insight. When ppl ask me about teams I just use the information I get from his blog and pretend I know a lot about what is going on hahahha! Thanks K :)

-One of my projects coming up is trying to make my own ketchup! http://www.instructables.com/id/Ketchup-Catsup-Recipe/
 

Videos coming up this weekend.....so check back in with that! 

Breakers keep your heads up.....We will get a win soon!!!!

Hi!

Knee Update:

Looks like things are coming along. I started running two weeks ago, and it feels great. There are obviously some days that I am sore or just exhausted. But Mentally it feels great to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Today I worked out with the team at Catz. Just to beable to do the little things with the team makes a huge difference. I enjoy spending time with them.....because I have realized I dont really know anyone personally!

I ran about 6 miles last night with two friends. By the 5th mile my knee was really feeling it. Not in a bad way....it was just so exhausted that I literally felt like I could not push myself anymore. But I was running with a friend so my pride, hard headedness and the will to compete kept me going.......and then introduced one to ICE BATHS. I LOVE THEM....and of course he was a pansy about it...MEN! haha ( but he kicked my butt in running so I guess i cant complain)

Feels good to be back and being challenged!!!!!!

Check out the video from the Breakers game vs Bay Area

Tjiena!!

Sorry it has taken me a while to write my next blog....so much has been going on. I promised you guys photos and videos of the circus so here they are. "THE BIG APPLE"

Only on one condition though........No making fun of me. hahahah......I was nervous!

Yes I get nervous. Only in front of lots of 5 and 10 year olds :)

Went with a few great friends....and yes we are all over the age of 25 with no kids haha

Us and the CARNIES!!!!!

Me Bello (IS BACK) and a carnie!

The Flower Bello made me for being such a good participant...basically playing dumb for him!!

The funny thing about this, is I showed Coach Tony....and 1...he laughed and smiled and 2....he said that the circus might hire me!!! hahaha

It was a fun experience and something new to do in Boston! Glad I have great friends who like to adventure out with me and do new things! Even though its slightly odd.

p.s.....We even got back stage passes to this circus.....hahahha it consist of basically everything you see in the picture with the carnies!!!  BALLIN hahah

I AM RUNNING!!!!

This week has been a bitter sweet week. I started running on Monday which is a huge turn in my recovery process. BUT it also has made me realize how far I have to go until im a hundred percent. I understand its not going to come back all at once....but dont you wish sometimes it would!!

In all honesty it feels amazing to beable to sprint on the soccer field and to touch a ball and to have that feeling of ....IM DYING! Sometimes when im sprinting I feel like I am going to fall over and die but I remind myself that this is what I love and this is what has to be done for me to get back.  And let me tell you.......IM BACK!!!

Yesterday after practice Kasey and I were walking back to the locker room and saw a muscle milk truck.....and you all know I cant pass up a great blog photo!!!!!

Look at those guns.......and our constipated looking faces hahahahha

Circus-

I WENT TO THE CIRCUS...check out my next blog for video and pictures of the "BIg Apple"  and what is a circus without  jnodreambig in the RING with BELLA the clown.....only would happen to me. :)
