So I'm playing soccer again. I joined a coed team last week. We have our first game this Thursday. I'm excited to play soccer again because I haven't played in two years. I'm afraid I'm horribly out of shape, though. After five minutes of practice, I felt like I needed an oxygen tent. I'm confident that I'll get back into better shape, which was a ( Read more... )

I even threw out the runners, score! Plus, I ( Read more... )

I feel so fucking old. I played sand volleyball last Thursday for about two hours, and my right knee swelled up, my left knee had a brush burn, my right triceps was sore, my neck was sore, and my left shoulder still hurts. It feels like I hurt the rotator cuff, but I’m hoping not. Now, I was diving around on the sand and trying to make some plays, ( Read more... )
