Feeling Old

Today, I feel old. I'm currently playing in a soccer tournament, with my team. We're on day #3 and heading into game #4 (the semi-finals). I'm sore. I'm tired. I'm hot, so hot that I am sweating from places I didn't know I could sweat from! I'm whiny. It's trouble...
There was a time when the scorching heat didn't really bother me. Four games in three days?? Sure! Sounds great. No fazing me, I would just go run around some opponent and then kick a blistering kick. Now.... not so much.
However, I am pleased with the fact that I can still run and play sports after Hunter was born. Brief story... he was born June 7th/2005, I played a soccer game in August (the last league game, I had been on the roster all season, my coach was hoping I'd be ready to play right away... not so much), It was pretty funny. I nursed Hunter when I subbed off, he had never had a bottle before that time and was a little sketchy drinking it. He had been outside lots, but wasn't in the best of moods. My game.... I pulled a leg muscle on the first kick I tried and an arm muscle on my first throw in. I couldn't walk the next day, or the next...
So, compared to that... I feel pretty good about my game. But, compared with my self of a few years past, it's a sad comparison. I shouldn't complain. There are worse things in life... like paying too much for a vaccum!
