One step forward, Two steps back


OK so I think i've turned a corner. It's now the third season of playing soccer in waterloo.  My fitness is slowly (italics mine) improving.  My statistics are improving.  My +/- ... might be improving.  But i think i've turned a corner.  When I started i knew my limits...  I knew when i was beat.  I knew that i wasn't going to catch up to the ball so i might as well not even try...

Last night i didn't get back when i should have and the other team scored... it was all my fault...

so i had to redeem myself.

so when i saw a ball going out i thought... i can get that....  if i slide....

So like a said.  I've turned a corner.  yeah,  the sacrifice your body for the game corner that i turned last night... yeah, not going to try that again.

I now know why they call it carpet burn.
