I decided that since I had a free Saturday (I know, weird right?!) I would go play soccer with a bunch of kids from church. So I did. I drove to the OU health sciences campus in OKC, got lost for about 15 minutes then finally stumbled upon the soccer field. There were tons of people there which made it a lot of fun. I played for about an hour and a half and then I had no more energy so I left.
I am really bad. To be fair, its been seven years since I played organized soccer. I have played pick up games since then, of course but nothing structured or regular. I am REALLY out of shape now and I have lost my soccer legs. Some of it came back quickly, like riding a bike. Some of it may be gone forever...
I started off playing midfield and was sucking wind hardcore so I moved back really quickly to defense. I did pretty well there for most of the game. I did get beat a couple times and I have a sprained ankle to prove it (thank you wet grass). However, I also had some pretty sweat plays too. I even took a shot (it was not very good and obviously didn't go in but was a shot nonetheless)!
When I got home, I immediately went to my swimming pool and cooled down. Awesome. Now I am lounging on my bed because my body feels like jello. It is a great feeling though. Hope I get to play again soon! :)
