Once again, I am in the agony of DOMS.
I skipped workouts last week so that I could try to prepare myself for a football(soccer) game on the weekend. I avoided lifting heavy, and rather did some shuttle runs and kicking to try get ready.
Failed!
If it had been a bit of a run, and some social play it might have been ok. I was unprepared for two full 45min halves of sprinting, tackling and marking. My body is not happy.
There are men wiser than I who realise that you cannot just plunge into the competitive arena and come out unscathed. But, they're no fun.
Yes, I'm suffering at the moment, but it was fun to run around like a kid again. I will be doing it again.
But, I will definitely be much better prepared the next time. Guaranteed.
I could sit back and mellow like so many do when the get near middle-age, but where is the fun in that. I don't feel like I've peaked just yet, so I will keep at it until I simply can't run with the boys anymore.
By then there might be a pill that will make me younger anyway...
