Soccer!

I just finished playing in my first actual soccer game in more than two years. I was recruited as a ringer for my sister's IM indoor team, Panda-monium. I scored a goal, but we ended up losing 4-1. But even though we lost, and I'm not even close to game-fit, I had fun. No bullshit whining about strategy, or internal team politics, or hissy-fits about playing time. Just soccer. (Or as close to indoor soccer as MSU gets anyway...)

Today's game made me realize how much I missed the game. I definitely needed a sabbatical after my last MSU Club Team season, and it was a refreshing break, but I need start playing regularly again. My mind is made up, after prom season, I'm joining a league.

I miss just being competitive.

I'm thinking about joining a tennis club this summer, since I'll have a little free time. I miss playing as well.

I'm glad you are joining a league! You love soccer, and should definitely be playing it. I thought you should have joined one last year!!!

4-1??? Tisk, tisk. You gotta pick it up. I'm sure it was all your fault.

Nicely done. I am trying to get back into playing shape as well so I can start hockey in April or May. Stacey and I were doing really well with working out every-other-day but then she got sick and we stopped.
