    Yesterday was a big day for me. I have been out of the game for at least a month and was finally ready to return in some fashion. Morning practice was a passing practice, no jumping and just getting some well needed touches both in free balls and serving. The evening practice would be the one that would test my knee. Starting with a 1 1/2 hour long strength session with weight- and balance-training, then off to 2 hours of playing. After a sick game of Hackebao (might have been spelled wrong) by my team, it was time to jump. I was really scared of overdoing it, but I managed to keep my vertical leap at about 20-30 cm. It didn’t hurt at all, but I only joined for the warm up hitting. After I played libero for a bit before going out to ice down. Close to five hours of practice on a knee just back from rest felt like enough. This morning my knee feels good. Even though my legs are tired, they don’t hurt at all. Todays practices will be CCS and some easy squats before a two hour practice later in the evening.
