Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Phew!  I had

Phew!  I had a soccer game yesterday and two today!  AND I have one tomorrow and if we win that, another game that day!  That will be 5 games in three days!  UGH.  I am tired!!!!!!  And sore.  Anyone else playing sports?  Anyone else tired and sore?  Anyone else play competitive soccer?

I have an awesome team! :) :D

Wow, RD, that's intense. I have friends who play soccer, but I never have. I am tired and sore, at least my head is, but that's just from two full hours of math - polar coordinates. I love those things, they rock, but it was too long. I'd take math over soccer any day, sorry. I have an awesome math team. Well, I'm too old for it now, but I'm going to be assistant coach. Competitive math is an amazing thing. Picture playing four soccer games in a row without more than ten, fifteen minutes in between games and no time outs or other breaks in the game. It hurts. And it rules. Even though on the team round they spelled our name Northern Nevada Home Shcools once. :D Wow, that was rambling and poorly connected. Sorry.

Hee, Hee, Emily H.  thankfully, I did not have to play a fifth game!  But I am so tired, especially since I just had a sleepover on the same day I had 2 soccer games.  :(

I wish I was playing sports. Sadly, I cannot, since my knees *yadda-yadda-blah*, you all know the story. I did get to go watch a college soccer game with my old team the other day, and that was really fun. That sounds tough, R~D~, I had a week like that once. I don't play competitive soccer, because 1. I'm kinda one of those tweeners, who's not good enough to play competitive, but good on the rec leauge (see my point?) and 2. I like playing rec because it's not nearly so competitive and I have more fun. :DAnyhoo, good luck in your games! What position(s) do you play, by the way? I play midfield and defender, and only forward when we're super-short on people or winning by loads. I have an odd tendancy to kick it right into the goalie's arms out of habit of passing to people *blushes*. Sorry, I'm rambling. I'll go now...

Well, I fence, but that's about it competitively. I'm not very athletic. I also ride my bike for fun every day... which makes me very tired and sore, but is very pleasant and offers a lot of time to think.

Mmm, that doesn't sound too good!!  I was at my little cousin's soccer practice this afternoon!  And I might go to her game on wednesday... I hope you get a nice long rest after all that!!!  :)

it's hard, but very fun!  I play outside midfield and left forward.  I did get a long rest... and a milkshake!!!  And actually, my team is a rec team.  We just do a bunch of competitive tournaments and try to go for the state title.

Oooh! *nods* My old team, too! But that was a while ago. I don't know if they're going to try again this year. I've also become the self-appointed mascot and will sew myself a mascot costume so that I can fight the other team's mascot to the death!!! Though that might look a bit funny, since no one else has a mascot....

@Lena: My knees probably won't have the problem fixed, but the symptoms will go away. I just have to be careful not to aggravate them. Thanks for your concern! You guys have really helped me deal with this :D
