This past weekend was the first game for teh daughter's soccer team. It was not an official game, just a "friendly" to help out another region. We had to travel about 30 minutes to play. First of all, the soccer complex is ok. I am kinda spoiled with the awesome fields we have, so not much can compare. The field we played on was WAY too small. I don't think they go the memo about proper field size. They also don't believe in calling all those pesky "rules" that everyone else follows (such as offside, tripping in the penalty area, etc).
Anyway, the poor girls were kinda lost out there. We really have not worked allot on positions and what to do when in a certain position. We tended to get out of position on defense and gave up 4 easy goals. The girls played hard, but you could tell the other team had a couple more weeks of practice than us. Also, we really miss not have teh daughter out there playing.
Running FAIL x 2:
Even though the weather was absolutely PERFECT all weekend long, I did not get in a single run. We are talking low to mid 60's in the morning and I stayed my lazy ass on the couch. I have got to start getting at least one run in on the weekend because Monday is always a rest day for me (it just can't get going on Monday mornings).
Today was 2.24 miles in 30 min for a 13:25 pace. About 15 seconds slower per mile, but I know that I did the first mile too slow and kicked ass on the second.

I know nothing about soccer (and little about running for that matter), but I'm betting that next weekend will be better.
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes it's good to just hold the couch down all weekend. 'Cause what if gravity suddenly stopped working? You wouldn't want the couch to just float off into space, would ya? So, good job on saving your family from a painful, disfiguring couch disaster, that's what I say!!
Thanks LooMoo. I am positive that after practice tonight we will be one lean, mean soccer machine....that is if they had a comptent coach that is. Unfortuantely for them, they have me.
ReplyDeleteI will always to my part to keep the couch in it's rightful place.
