Two months ago, I started playing soccer for the first time ever. I practice twice a week and play a full game every Sunday evening. I figured it would just involve running around and trying to kick the ball. I must have been insane! Soccer is intense! It's the best workout I could ever imagine! I am by far one of the worst players in terms of skills on my team which is only to be expected since I have no experience and am really out of shape. However, as each week goes by, I feel my legs getting stronger, my abdomen tightening up, my energy level increasing, and my endurance on the field improving. I'm getting the knack of how things work. Sometimes I kick the ball in the right direction at just the right speed.
The team has started to talk about indoor soccer for the winter. I'm going to need a pair of indoor soccer shoes. Crazy, right?

I loved playing soccer in high school until I planted my leg & my foot dug into the ground but my knee and upper leg kept going needless to say after some torn muscles that was the end of my soccer playing days lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time playing make a few goals for me lol
You are awesome and our team rocks!!
ReplyDeleteGo you! Playing soccer. I can't do any sports while pregnant. Sean's soccer couch was out of town today - and stupidly didnt leave the soccer balls with anyone, so today's game was a disaster. Thank goodness it was picture day! LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd us moms who stepped in to help today, had no idea what we were doing. The last time I think I played soccer I was like 8, and goalie. Not much to know about standing in nets! LOL
Go you! What a great way to get out and get exercise!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I would have the fitness level / social bravery to try something like this!
I'm really glad I was able to con you into joining! It's been so much fun having such great people to play with!
ReplyDeleteI hope you do sign up for indoor, although there is currently some debate on where. I'm not so sure I want to play at the dome!!
