I'm going to play soccer!!!

So this girl Mandy at my work plays on a soccer team. Today she mentioned that they needed players. I have been looking for a soccer team for a couple of years, but have had a hard time getting ahold of anyone and have been apprehensive about just calling some team out of the blue anyway. So I told Mandy I'd play in a heartbeat but am probably too old and fat for her team (she is skinny and young) and she said there were women bigger and older than me on the team, that it's a lower division team and I would be fine! As soon as they start practicing indoors, I'm going to start going and hopefully they will want me. She said they especially need a goalie and I love playing goalie, but I would play whatever they had. I've played every position and would give anything a try. Admittedly it's been 20 years since I played, but I did play for 10 years before that and I know I still have some skills since I got to use them a bit when I coached Dingo this spring. Happy Day!

It shall all come back to you. Muscle memories are amazing. Just make sure that mind over body is kinda myth. lol. Your mind may want to move faster than your body is willing or able to follow.

Well, this spring I certainly learned the importance of stretching. When I was 16 and limber already, it seemed sort of time-wasting and pointless but at 39, apparently you snap a tendon if you don't.

You are amazing. That sounds like it would be so good for you... and so healthy for you in so many ways. I wish I was that motivated for more exercise-type things!:)

Let us know when you have some games...

Are you kidding? You teach Zumba like, 20 times a week, lol. I am not half so motivated as you; I just want to get out there and score some goals. Or stop some, whatever. :-)
