Well, today was a day of firsts. The first Eagles game of the season (nice win, Birds!), and my team's first fall soccer game. We actually did really well out of the gates, scoring 3 goals in the first 25 minutes of the game... and keeping the other team at zero in that time. But as the clock ticked on, we began to grow tired. By the last 20 minutes, it was evident that most of our team had given up, and we ended up losing 4-3. Now, we do have several new players this season (which is awesome!) and we were all trying to work out the kinks, and get used to playing together. But nonetheless it was frustrating to have gone from such a significant lead to a disappointing loss. And I'm just as much to blame as the other 10 people on that field (and the 4 we had on the sideline).
Anyway, it felt good to get out there and run again... and I personally thought I had a good game, scoring 1/3 of our team's goals. I am eager to see how my performance im
proves throughout the season (or at least, my endurance) since my fitness boot camp and self-induced weight loss program has now officially begun. I had dinner with Jami after the game, and I told her, just watch, 3-4 weeks from now I'll be 100% BEYOND where I was today.Here's to getting in shape and owning up to that!
