Crazy! We didn't have any subs and all our best players were gone, so I had to play Center Mid the entire game (two 40-minute halves). So, at least, I am now aware that I can run for basically an hour and a half. That's good. The second game, when I had to referee, was of course not as much running, but still by the time it was done at 9:30 (kickoff for the first game was at 6), I was pretty beat. I called G and whined at him on the phone a little because I was stretching and it was painful. My knees hurt. My toes hurt. My shins hurt a little but they are not broken! So things are good. Gave myself 4 miles, trying to be conservative-- I played the whole time, but the games were only 80 minutes and the field was small.
