 Catching uppppp *trying to at least* o.o ❄ Chasing Waterfalls & Wonder ❄ | Mama Badger | Eva's Soul Sister | An OG™ | It's all in the Numbers
Wait..... what.... had she said about mental training??? Wait, was stretching considered mental training? Skylar had been hearing Professor B talking, but apparently, it was a thing she had going on lately of hearing but not really listening. Uhhhh ... uh.... what were they doing again?? Which group was she supposed to be in? She was on the ground, but she definitely preferred to be flying, given she had her broom in her hand, but she wasn't unopposed to jogging either. So instead, the She-Snake Captain stood looking dumbfounded for probably a moment longer than she should have before FINALLY hopping on her broom and kicking off into the air, trailing well behind everyone else. Oops... At least she was a fast flyer. Normally. And she urged her broom faster, one lap around, two laps around, three laps and she was doing her zig-zagging and then time to return to the group.
For stretches. Yes, yes, which apparently was mental training. Who knew? Or maybe she did ... subconsciously. Yes, she was going to go with that. Staying hovering near the group on her broom - because why not and figured she might as well work her core and balance, the captain began her arm circles. Ten forward and ten back the other way. Not too bad. That was when she realized she would need to not be on her broom for the next two stretches. OOPS again. Gosh, why was she sooooo unfocused today?? Was this how she was against Gryffindor?? Focus .... Focus. It wasn't as if she was a novice flyer, but her lack of focus was incredulous. So much that she hadn't even noticed Professor B use the word butt earlier, which had she, she probably would have grinned stupidly at.
Right. On the ground again, she bowed down and then up again. Again, not too challenging. And the last stretch, well, with her unfocused mindset, Skylar would have assumed body circles literally meant walking in circles but apparently not as she observed. Okay, moving her upper body around... five one direction ... five the other ...
Trying to focus as Professor B talked of specific stretches targeted toward certain activities, she just stared. She had been doing arm exercises, hadn't she??? But she also did the running thing, so targeting thighs and quadricep muscles seemed to make sense too. So instead of doing another targeted stretch, Skylar just stood there again. Before finally reaching for water bottle. Sorry, Professor, she needed to hydrate over here, cause maybe it'd help her regain her sense of focus. And just to make it seem like she was doing something, she did do some walking lunges on her way over to water bottle.
Back to the class now and it seemed they were flying again, but had to zig-zag between the small orange cones. Mounting her broom, she flew up after some of the younger students and hovered while she waited behind them to fly between the cones. Patienceeeee ... she fought hard against as she flew through the first line of cones and the second ... and third and fourth ... eventually making her way to the seventh line. Heh, was it weird if she kind of saw the seven lines each as another year of Hogwarts passing through? Zig-zagging her way through? It was kind of ironic, wasn't it? The way Hogwarts years were filled with obstacles and challenges, both physically and emotionally. Thoughts that she needed to stop before she started to cry from the nostalgia; and there was no crying in quidditch! Breath in, breath out.
And time for part two of the main activity.
