Practive

Okay so tonight I have basketball practice. Right now I'm on my lunch and I have half of it left. I should be stretching and getting ready for tonight. Instead I'm sitting my in chair. Being lazy. Shame on me. I guess the important thing to focus on now is long term benefits vs. short term. If I stretch now I will greatly reduce my chance of injury, improve my mobility and speed and therefore my "game", and I will feel better throught the day. Short term benefits include...........

C-League

Saturday was my first city league basketball practice.
I am still hurting. A lot.
I think what is most sore is my ribs. I took a lot of deep breaths. It really stretched me, which is what I wanted, but man does it hurt. For practice we basically just played four on four with one man out. After the first game my chest hurt oh so very badly and I was seeing colors. I drank water and went outside to get some fresh air. I almost puked. I have never puked due to physical exertion, but I was realy close Now the insides of my thighs hurt and my abdomen is killing me. Thankfully I was expecting this. Its what happens when a guy is ridiculously out of shape and he trys to keep up with people who work out regularly. I am not one of those guys who is content to just do what I can do. I'm always pushing. Always attempting to further my boundaries. Even when I do get in shape, I'll still be pushing. Why? Beats me.
