Had a soccer game today at 12:30.  Man was it hot.   Both teams were short players, so I got to run the top myself.  I had my team send me on as many runs as they could.  It was actually really fun.  I am amazed at how running has improved my ability on the soccer field.  The game was called at half because the goalie on the other team broke her hand trying to stop my corner kick (which ended up going in-  sad for her x2).  I feel really bad.  I don't think in the 34 years I have been playing I have ever hurt anyone.  I guess its not really my fault but I still feel crappy about it.  After she left her team still wanted to scrimmage so we played for a while longer.  I had a hard time getting into it but wanted the exercise.  Great sprint workout- I'm going to count 2 miles for it.

Got home and tried to put the baby down for a nap, but he didn't want any of it.  I talked my husband into going for a run because the running stroller will usually put the baby to sleep.   Not today, but I got in another 4 miles.  It felt like more than 4 miles because it was soooo hot.  I guess thats what I get for running at 3:00 in the afternoon. 

 I hope the BBK schedule will fit into my schedule again in the fall.  I need someone to run with early in the morning.

Wow! That is a TON of work in a soccer game. It's not just running miles it back and forth and kicking as well! Don't worry too much about the goalie, just ease up on that spinach girl!! :) Sorry the baby didn't nap, but you did get a good run out of it! Sorry about the BBK schedule, if I wasn't such a pooper about getting up in the morning I'd come at least one with you. Hey, brain storm...my sister in law that lives right around the corner from you usually runs EARLY, and she does a solid 8mm - if you're interested I can hook you up, let me know on PM.

Soccer in the heat,,,,fun stuff! i did not know you played soccer, that is cool!

I hope it fits into your schedule, too, because I would love for you to come back and run! I am always up for an early morning run, just let me know when and I will join you here and there!
