It was brisk
I have some turf burn but other than that I survived my game tonight. There were only three women and with two on the field at a time we all played a lot. That’s fun, but I am really tired. It probably would have been better for the team if we had 4 women instead of 3. However, I am pretty sure that isn’t what cost us the game. The other team was great. We lost about 11-4 tonight. We will hopefully get one of the early games in the playoffs next week (there is no question about our seeding) and then we plan to retire to the bar.
Before the game I went on a two mile sprint. I ran with a different teammate than last week and we were running well under 8 min/miles. I don’t know the exact pace but I was trying to describe my thanksgiving and I was panting. Then I got a cramp which I never do when I train. I kept going though. This guy ran a sub 3 marathon a few weeks ago so for him I am pretty sure this was a legitimate slow warm-up. I just had too much pride to ask him to slow down…yeah, I’m a moron. This was about my race pace. I was describing the run to another teammate afterwards and the guy I ran with overheard me say “it was pretty brisk” and he did say, “You should have told me!” I really am a moron.
It was nice to play though. I am stressing work and school for the next 2 days and I completely forgot all about it during the game which was great.
