The above picture represents what I did nearly every day of my life for 16 years.
It also represents what I could not, or chose not to, do for 2 years because of a knee injury.
But most of all, it represents what I did...
...last night.
I have never felt so rusty or worn out before whenever I have stepped onto a soccer field than when I did just that...
...last night.
My lungs burned.
Clearly, I am so out of shape. I can run marathons, but can barely tolerate 15 minute increments in an indoor soccer game.
But, why I feel so compelled to share is this:
Sans knee brace and any hesitation in my playing efforts, I DID IT.
I PLAYED SOCCER.
I CAN DO IT.
Yes, this is definitely a pat on my back from my own hand. But 2 years of wonder and doubt have now been silenced and, hopefully, put to rest.
If not, I have great health insurance.
