Pick up the pace

Today I played my second soccer game ever. The turf was astro and I was definitely having a lot more trouble running this time. Sadly, I know why. Part of it was definitely the fake grass, but the grass was not the biggest contributing factor. After the last game I went to, which was two Sundays ago, I didn't bother to stretch so my muscles got tight. When I went to watch the debates two Thursdays ago, I pulled a muscle sitting cross-legged (or "Indian style" if you grew up where I did). How pathetic is that? Regardless, soccer was still fun as hell and I can't wait for next week. I'm just going to make sure I stretch a little more between now and then.
