Indoor Soccer

I had my first indoor soccer game of the season last night.  I was a bit nervous walking into it since I haven't played since 2007!  I didn't know if I'd even be able to kick a ball while running, let alone run for more than 30 seconds.  I have to say I surprised myself last night.  I played decently and even scored a goal!  It was nice to see all of the ladies my teammates again (am I officially old once I start calling my teammates "ladies"?).  Here are some things I need to improve on:

• Be able to stay on the field longer than 2-3 minutes.
• Gain some lung capacity.  I think it's a bad sign when I'm still coughing from lack of oxygen the following day!
• Not kick the ball into someone's head two times in one minute.  Yes, I really did that last night.  Really felt bad about it too. So, I need to regain some ball control!
• Must remember to bring water next week.
• Quit using the excuse that I have a kid now.  Half the women on my team have kids!

Hopefully next Monday will be a bit better.  Riley wasn't able to come last night since we didn't play until 9.  But, we have a 7 pm game coming up in the next few weeks that we plan to take her to.  I'm excited to see her there and see her reaction to all of the action!
