Champs

Every summer I usually join 2 soccer leagues.  One is Over 23 and you play half field.  The other is any age (and mostly college aged girls) and they play full field.  I have not played in either since before Amelia was born.  I talked to my dr. and he said that my back is probably fine and that I most likely just have permanent  nerve damage in my foot (half of my left foot has no feeling).  I don't even have a reflex in my foot.

So anyways I got the clear to try and play soccer.  I decided i would just do the over-23 league.  It was rough.  Some days better then others.  A numb foot really makes you slow.  Sometimes it gives out on you too.  But I am slowly getting used to it and adjusting.  Our team made the semi-finals. 

The girls then asked me to play with their full field team for a tournament.  I thougt I would just be a sub.  Well I ended up playing every minute of every game.  And we kept winning so we had an extra game.  We went to the finals and somehow pulled out the win!   It was a fun weekend but I sure paid for it.  I was so sore.  My back killed.  I am covered in bruises and had blisters too.  Man am I old!
