Lunch Time Sports

We play team sports at work during lunch. It is a great way to break up the day and get some exercise in. Never a bad thing. I have been playing for about two months now. I am getting my wind up a little but the man the injuries are staring to get to me. I am not old by any means. I would think 33 is still pretty young. Some times it is hard to tell my body that the morning after playing the day before. In the last three games I have pulled a hamstring(flag football) and turned my ankle pretty good(ultimate freebie). Don't get me wrong I like the fact I we can go out at lunch and enjoy some fresh air and get a good work out in at the same time.

We are not too competitive when we go out at lunch. Some times you have a few people yell to get back on defensive or man up. For the most part we are pretty cool. There are varying levels of athleticism out there. So you don't want to get on some one who is out there trying.

Not much going on


Christopher finished up fall soccer this past Saturday. It took about two months for the little guys to start playing together as a team. Being a huge sports fan it is interesting to see how you start to teach and train a young athlete. Each week through out the season the coach had a different point he wanted to in still in the players. Simple things such as keeping your head up when you run to taking a good angle to cut off a player advancing the ball. I am not a big fan of soccer but it seems my son is not bad. Although I may be biased; that is my story and I am sticking to it. He will play spring soccer it will be a little cold out but that only makes him tougher right?


Tonight he begins swim lessons. If I am not mistaken this is the third time he will have taken swim lessons. At this point he is learning different strokes. Maybe some time in the next year or so he will be on a swim team. This is something else I know little about as I did not learn to swim until my freshman year at NC State. He really enjoys swimming so this should be great for him.

Not much going other wise. We got a new washer and dryer that will be delivered on Monday. We are thinking about stacking them to make more room in the wash room/closet. We would then need to find some shelves to go in there. I think it will turn out good. My online Dynasty (NCAA09 Footbal) season just ended. I was not bowl eligible with NC State. I should have a pretty good recruiting class so next year should be better.

But what do I know......
