Football? Brilliant!


I’d like to just say how sore I am. Oh God I am so incredibly sore. After six months of next to zero physical activity (well, my thumbs have been working out consistently – Thank you Final Fantasy XI) I decided to play football on Sunday with some guys from work. I’m still paying for it, of course. I survived the ordeal…but we lost the game…

As my lungs burned and my legs ached on the field, I couldn’t help but wonder if everything I was feeling was normal. A year ago, I probably would have just thought it was due to the fact that I haven’t worked out…well…EVER… and I overeat, sleep too much, and generally conduct a sedentary existence. But of course, I have all these OTHER reasons for being unable to endure physical stress. And being paranoid, I can’t help but think some of my exertion is due to my ordeal.

So I’m just going to have to try to rebuild myself physically. Working out would be a good start as soon as I can afford a gym membership. Football will just have to become a Sunday tradition (It’s touch football, and you’re ALL invited), and I’m just going to have to push myself to get a little more exercise. Until I drop dead, we’re going to just have to roll with the fact that my inability to run a 10-45 passing play is due to the fact that I have NEVER been able to run a 10-45 passing play.

Mood: Sore…oh sooo sore…
