Update on me May 8th

Well I have not been doing a good job with writing in my blog. I will say that I have a couple things to talk about.

Soccer: Well I have joined a soccer team, “The 1987 Field Day Champions”.

This is was something that is kind of a surprise to me. I had been playing a lot of beach volleyball, but wanted to add something else to get me more exercise. After volleyball one day I decided to go play soccer with some people from church. I went out to the Lincoln High school soccer fields and kicked the ball around. Now I will be the first to admit that I am terrible at soccer. I have always been some what clumsy with my feet and soccer, I believe, will expose your flaws more than any other sport in that area. Luckily, what little athletic talent I have and a whole lot of hustle allowed me to keep up with the others on the field.  After we were done they asked me if I wanted to play on their team. I told them I would have to ask the wife. After talking with her she allowed me to play. I signed up with TSA (Tallahassee Soccer Association) and registered for the Spring Coed League. We have currently played two games and have lost both, but it is very fun. I play the “Stopper” position. I have not idea what that actually means, but I am around the mid field chasing the ball a lot.

Health: Well I have been some what healthy. I have been able to play a lot of sports, but paying the price afterwards. I have been having a big issue with my ankles (as usual). They just can not hold up to all the banging around I have been putting them through. Recently after one of my soccer games I my foot swelled up on me. It was very weird. My ankles seem to be ok but the middle arch of my foot is bruised. I have not been able to run because it hurts to bad. I have been on my bike recently and that is kinda cool. I am not a bike person, but it does help with getting some exercise and not putting all my weight on my ankles. I hope that I can lose some weight a really start being able to get in some good workouts.
