I hurt
<>

I joined a softball league for the first time in 10 years. We had our first practice/scrimmage yesterday.

Now I woke up with:

1. 1 jammed finger (lucky not to have broke it)

2. I can't move my neck.

3. My feet hurt.

I have not run at a dead sprint in, oh, 10 years. I gotta get in better shape.

1. It's fun to be reminded that you aren't as young as you once were, eh?
The morning after my return to softball...my hand was swelled up just from catching the stupid ball. Yikes.

I even tried roller skating again...once...until I got out there and realized every quick, jerky movement I made made something in my body crack. Sigh...fun.

2. Last time I played softball, somebody lobbed a softball at my skull.
I wouldn't want to go through that again! (and, no, I don't think many people grow up - that's why we have jails.)

7. Aleve is your friend
I mowed the grass on Saturday and ran. I have muscles hurting in my legs where I didn't even know I had muscles.
