Above the clouds

"If you don't know how to play cup, don't play it!" the old white player angrily yelled at his younger rec league teammate.

Getting in shape: so far so good, still doing stupid things like staying up late and drinking mad beer, but I am feeling confident and running hard. Ups need a lot of work.

League this week:
Wednesday the B team faced the strong orange squad. We had seven players and had to run 4 - 2 against 7 due to gender ratio rules. Playing down is a great challenge. We had some great moments. I caught a bunch of goals but missed two due to bad jumping and blew a great cutting opportunity.

Pros: Met Ken Dobyns.
Cons: We lost, 15 - 12 after trading ahead and then getting broken two times in the last crucial minutes.

Thursday:
Forest fire vs white.
I was running on fumes and somehow managed to hit the perfect amount of overtired to not care and just run and run. We won by a lot.
Pros: Great flow, great team game.
Cons: The Stiggles - Herbst matchup in the blue red game just did not live up to the hype my brain manufactured.

Isaac played tremendously. We were going to do a workout on the way home from league, both being sleep deprived and hungover and hyped up on endorphins, but I was a badoof and did not have sneakers.

Club soon.
I will be ready. Planks, lunges, squats, pushups, it is on.
