This Time Last Week

This time last week, my body was in pain. It was the day after I had played soccer for the first time since sophomore year in high school, and my body was not happy with me. Every movement I made was a battle. I could barely get out of bed and walking up stairs was completely out of the question. All in all, it was not a good day.

Today, however, is a different story. I played soccer again yesterday, but surprisingly I am barely feeling it today. Does that mean I'm in shape again? Not at all. I think it's more like breaking in a new pair of shoes. The first time you wear them, they're incredibly stiff and can be very uncomfortable, but once you've broken them in that first time, the subsequent uses are much more comfortable.

Now that my body has been broken in, I think it's only a matter of time until I really feel comfortable playing again. Once that happens, hopefully the skills will soon follow. I can sure use them.
