Battered And Bruised From A Pole

I know they only look like three tiny bruises, but they're the kind that hurt when you touch them, ouch!

I'm guessing that these were from climbing the pole, and because the picture doesn't give much away, i'll tell you:- they're on my left shin.
I missed a pole lesson last week, which meant I had two to catchup with this week.

I've been doing pole since October 2010 and the level that I'm at now is beginner/advanced (still a long way to go to greatness...!) But the class I went to tonight was a beginner class with a few people in there having a taster session.

The thing I love about pole is that, no matter what level you're at, you genuinely want other pole fittys to conquer the one move which is driving them crazy.  It's great.
