Oct. 8, 2006 - Forgot to mention what else
I forgot to mention what else cool happened to me yesterday.
I got an email from a friend who went to my church last year and suddenly left and goes somewhere else here in town. We had once talked about trying to get a "for-fun, for-exercise" group of people together who would like to play soccer. She was emailing me letting me know of an opportunity. So I got more info about it and yesterday morning I brought my son with me to the field to see if I could play. Here I am, an out-of-shape mother-of-three, 30-something female . What was I kidding myself? There were 4 other guys, some college age, one was a 40ish father, some international students. Let me think: I was way out of my league. They were all very good and I could hardly keep up. I was out after 45 minutes. But the thing was they let me play and didn't discourage me. They not only let me play, they wanted my 7 year old to play. They were so nice. I got some good runnng in as far as exercise goes, but I was beat. They turned the field so that they were playing the space of the goal box (not the little penalty box in front of the goal, but the bigger box around that one) with stuff markers about 5 feet apart for goal posts.
I'm so glad I went and played. When I got done, I was sore but a good sore. When I thought about even asking about playing, I thought I was being brave. It was a lot of fun and I hope I can get to do it again.
