no pain, no gain

Shrimp Diablos t-shirt. It's pink.Whew. This soccer thing is killing me. I feel like I’m spending all my time recovering from the last practice. Saturday morning practices have proven the most grueling, since we have more time to scrimmage. As a result, Sundays, Mondays and even Tuesdays I’m feeling stiff and sore from all the activity.

To add insult to injury, I’ve actually gained a couple pounds since this all started. It also doesn’t help that, particularly after practices, I seem to have acquired the appetite of a teenage boy. I’ll keep watching what I’m eating, so hopefully I can rationalize the gain away as newfound muscle weight, rather than fat.

Our team, the Shrimp Diablos, have officially joined a league, with games every Saturday afternoon starting in September out at Daingerfield Island in Alexandria. (I didn’t realize there was a field out there.) Should be fun!
