Super Star!!

Gemini and I played our first Co-ed softball game on Sunday. Before the game I decided that stretching was important because of the way I felt last week after the practice. So we left for the baseball diamond a few minutes early to have some time for a little warm-up. When we got there I did a few stretches and tossed a ball around a bit. But the stretching I did wasn't enough.

One of the women on our team pulled a muscle in her groin going from first to second base, and so they put me in as a courtesy runner (because I'm lightning fast, haha). But as soon as I left the base the back of my thigh tightened up and cramped like crazy. I barely hobbled home, and couldn't run for the rest of the game. And even now (two days later) I'm gimping around dragging my right leg because it hurts incredibly. And I'm supposed to be able to play again on Sunday and Monday?

All but one woman on our team pulled some muscle in their legs. I think from now on I might suggest group stretching before the game. It's pretty horrible having a pulled muscle.

So baseball is doing bad things to my body right now, but I'm still very hopeful that by the end of the season, I'll be a super-star player with a ripped body from playing. Haha. I'm being sarcastic, because it's seriously hard to get more fit when you are following up a good workout with a beer or two. But the super-star part was totally serious!
