not so fast (random re me)
i got a random invite to play tackle football with some old friends from college this saturday. i figured, why not. football is fun, and i'm decent at it. however, i haven't played in several years, and i don't run very regularly. i bet you can already see where this is going.
teams were already picked beforehand, somehow, so we got off to a pretty quick start. 8 on 8, 2 completions for a 1st, 1 blitz per set, 5 miss rush... with 7 wide outs... heh. cross patterns like crazy. i had a good time, and the guy i was covering only caught one pass, but it got called back cause he was out of the end zone. whenever i pulled off my man to chase someone else, though, i usually got burned because almost all the fast people were on the other team. and that's not really my fault if someone else's guy picks up yards. i didn't do so hot as a receiver, either, but i still had fun, and that's what counts if you don't win.
so after all that, my legs are SORE. i'm having trouble not limping! i guess i should run more... but running sucks. at least there isn't running in bouldering, which i do tonight.
