first day of softball was today. i knew that i was out of shape, but holy shit, today was a slat in the face...or rather a slap in my fat ass. what happened to me? i've played since i was six and it was always good solid hard fun. but today..today was running, today was tremendous amounts of running, today was getting down on the ground, today was lunges around the feilds, today was squats, today was no water, sun in face, dirt in mouth, sweat in eyes, and my old coach looking at me (and all of us) and laughing while he said, "You girls WILL be in shape, trust me."
the way it usually works it you're soar the next day but i'm already soar. i took a long shower and alternated between making the water really hot and making the water really cold. i feel better.
i'm excited...i will be in shape, i will be fit, and i will be doing something that makes me feel good.
i am in an excessive amount of muscle pain, but it's a familiar pain i know well, it's a pain that pushes you to victory, and it's a pain that I love
