I Can Haz Badjj?

Huzzah! Once again I have dodged the trick questions (well, most of them) and triumphed over the the screwy hypotheticals and passed the ref exam for grade 8. I got 6 questions wrong, for a score of 92%, and most of those were in the "are they asking me if you *can* or if you *should*?" department. Two I just had a total brainburp and gave identical, "equally wrong in both cases when they should have been the same" answers.

Now I just have to get in the right physical condition to run lines for 1-2 matches (I am *still* not going to volunteer to center a match, not yet) and the mental condition to be yelled at by angry players without losing it.

*is worried*

I went running yesterday, and I did about two miles on the flat, but if I actually *ran* more than about a third of it, I'll be surprised. I was quite exhausted, thought not in a "completely blown, need to lie on the ground for a while" way.

Today I went out cycling in the morning, did about the same distance (slightly more) plus a lot more up and down. Enjoyable, and out of breath on a few of the hills, but in no way as exhausted.

Only thing is, I have two matches I've agreed to AR on Sunday. I'm dreading it. I am much more out of shape than I realised. Yikes!
