I had an absolute blast during the past week.
Excellent company. Girl room gossip (talk I mean, gossip sounds better). Good food. A change of environment. And the last but not least....SPORTS.
I used to do a lot of sports a few years ago....and it has slowly petered away. My final stint this time was playing ultimate frisbee, mixed handball, and being captain and coach of the netball team.
This may be my last sporting endeavour.
I look on it with some trepidation.
I miss already the sprinting. The calls, the intensity of the matches, the camraderie that inevitably comes with training with that team for so long, and the bonds that were forged on court.
I miss jumping, sprinting for my life to get the ball. Guarding. And that sweet sweet moment where a frisbee/ball is intercepted, or a clean pass is made.
I even miss the after match aches when I couldn't be stuffed warming down.
I could turn to extreme sports, but really, nothing can fill that void of competitive sport.
:( sigh.
