before and during your dd's meets?
(Another member's comment about feeling as if she was going to have a stroke before a meet inspired me to start this thread . . .)
A few days before my dd's first meet last year, we were ice skating on our pond, and I was helping our 3-year-old dd skate for about a half hour. Afterwards, my legs were really sore, which is odd for me, and I resignedly attributed the soreness to my aging body. I was surprised when the soreness didn't go away. Since those silly legs were still sore the day of the meet 3 days later, I dressed in a warm-up outfit. I watched the meet with a mixture of excitement and apprehension and had fun. As soon as the meet was over, my legs stopped aching! Even though I'd thought it was odd because I'd never been so sore from helping a little one skate or anything before, I never dreamed that my legs were really sore because of my nervousness for dd! Isn't that wild? (I also get really nervous and excited for our oldest dd before her theatrical and vocal performances, but I feel that more in a nervous energy and in my stomach than in my legs.)
At following meets, my legs still got achy and/or shaky, but less and less so with each meet. Maybe this year, they won't be affected at all!
