ballin outta control
holy moly i really don’t recall the last time i was this sore. yesterday was my first day at spring league and today.. i can feel it. biking up there felt pretty good and actually playing was a lot of fun except that im so rusty and the fields were essentially a large swamp. seriously. ive never seen anything like it. there was one moment when i was trying to change directions and my cleet stuck in the ankle deep freezing mud and my foot started to pull out of my shoe altogether and i remember thinking ‘am i doing this? what in the hell are we doing out here?’ i thought our first field was rough with a few mucky patches and a couple pools of standing water but our second game? there was no grass to speak of except right on the sideline. thats brown bear there in the foreground taking a break from the mud bowl.
so i could complain a lot of things… from my idiotic choice to bike up to schiller to the field conditions to playing savage after not running for 6 months… but honestly it was a lot of fun. my team ‘and 1′ is a great team and miss casual is psyched to be a part of this squad of ballers. also after watching some and 1 videos and actually figuring out what ‘and 1′ is and what the nicknames are all about… i’d like to request a nickname revision. can i be hot sauce? that guy is bananas.
the photos courtesy of the future mr. casual who was nice enough to explain ‘and 1′ and its implications after standing in the cold watching us for like 3 hours.
in closing id like to extend an extra special guilt trip to team paulina since it sounds like they have some big news of their own that they have yet to share with the blogosphere. good to see you guys. now blog already.
