Ready for Some Football

This is the opening week of flag football. I’ll be playing on a team with other people from work and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t really excited. At this point, I’ll take any bit of football I can get, seeing as though we’re nearing the time a year where there’s only baseball on, which I passionately hate unless I’m going to a game.
So how have I prepared? Well, I haven’t, which sucks and could bite me in the ass week after week. I suck at cardio, and I hate running so therefore I haven’t gotten myself in shape at the gym. It also sucks because we can only have 8 people on the field at once, and of course we only have 8 people for our team this week. So I will be playing the whole time. But I do have the ability to tough it out, so I think I will be fine. I also bought myself some cleats because I refuse to play ball without them.
Only time will tell how well I’ll do, but since my confidence level is top notch in what I can do on the football field, I have no worries…..as long as my lungs cooperate.
