I'm WAAAAYYY out of shape

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

My boss has just invited me to join him and his 3 brother-in-laws to form a 5-a-side indoor soccer team, playing in a multi-division league format. As we were a new team, we had to play a few qualifying games first, mostly to determine our standard (or lack thereof) before the organizers will put us into a division to compete. Anyway we played our first match on Monday, and while we slumped to a 9-3 defeat, there were enough positives to be taken from our collective and individual performances, and if you take away the 4 goals scored by our opponents in the first 10 minutes (we've never played together in our lives) as well as the 2 goals they scored in the last couple of minutes when we've absolutely run ourselves into the ground (we had no substitutes while our opponents had 2, and our average age was at least 1.5 times theirs), we figured we would do better next time round (next Tuesday)

But the point is, I'm currently paying the price for slacking off big-time physically. My 2 legs are currently a solid mass of muscular pain, walking is a chore, never mind running. And I'm not limping only because BOTH legs are in equal amount of pain. Once the pain wears off slightly, I'm going to start walking around the neighbourhood. At the very least I got to get better conditioned to get into the next game... :) - DSM
