Time to brush off the dust

Time to break out the old cleats and shin guards...I'm on a soccer team! Games start in two weeks and no, I haven't been working to get in shape. My soccer shoes haven't even seen the light of day (out of their shoe bag) in, ah, ah, ah, a decade? That's scary! Fortunately my hairdresser has joined the team with me and she and I will get together next week to see if we still know how to kick the ball. The "season" is only 5 weeks long with one game a week. Then maybe I'll finally use my gift certificate for the massage I've been saving :)

when did you decide to do this? That's awesome :-) Have fun with it. When Jeremy decided to "brush off the dust" from his oldy moldy cleats and play again, he ended up with some serious shin splints. I have since made him throw them away and told him he can have a new pair after using that pair for more than 1/2 his life. I hope you have fun and enjoy doing something active. Will your family ever get to come see you play?

Melinda -

Justin needs to break out the videocam and catch some of the action on the field! Great stuff to show your kids when they want to lace up their cleats!
