So, yeah, I was having alot of fun with fuete (not really how you spell it I'm sure) jump. I love them, they make me happy...not really sure why, just do. So anyways, I had been doing them a few times in a row when my brain all of a sudden said "do a tour jute" (also really not how you spell it) well, a tour jute is a fute jump but switching your legs, so you land on the other foot. (Just so you know, a fute is like a jump on one foot but with a turn.) Well, my brain said this half way through my jump, also while I was leaning way too far over. So, yeah, while I was in the air there came point when I go "I'm parallel to the floor, why is my foot not on the floor?" BAAM!!! I was about 4-5 feet in the air, face down, parallel to to floor, (no mat) and just fell flat on the gound...I basically did a belly flop on the floor. I had no idea what happened...I think the only thing that kept me from crying was that I just started laughing at what had just happened. At that moment, the girl I was jumping with (she was watching me then) freaked out, so scared for my life...my instructor couldn't form a complete sentence she was so scared I had seriously hurt myself...and the rest of the guard was struck with confusion and laughter. Honestly, it didn't hurt at first. It felt like someone stuck a live wire in my spine, my body was buzzing and shaking. And still I am laughing... So I get up do my final full run of the show because it was the end of practice, still kind of in shock. After the run I was sitting down, and my knee was hurting, so I pulled up my pants to look at my knee...it was purple. This morning (the day after) I woke up, and my right foot, ankle, knee, and hip are all bruised and very very sore. My neck is still hurting because my head was sideways when I landed. Also, my ribs were hurting, I blamed it on just practicing yesterday...nope, through out the day my ribs were hurting worse and worse, they are bruised, possibly cracked...yeah, well there is nothing you can do for cracked ribs other than ice, advil, and wrapping it. (which is what I'm doing already) So, today's practice was so much fun, especially since I had to learn a new handstand thing, and new movement on rifle.
So needless to say, I hurt right now, everywhere and alot. However I still think that it is hallarious that I did that...As my mother said when I told her this story "Megan, usually you're pretty gracefull....but I dont' know what happened." :P
Now, I can't make fun of Marc about gravity any more.... :)
