Sunday I played in my over 40 soccer game. My team has me playing in a central midfield position because I am able to run for 90 minutes. While we did not win the game I was able to run for 90 minutes. On more than one occasion I ran past my teammates to get back into a defensive position. I was able to run all over the field and even after the game was over I was able to run a lap to cool down. I am very excited that I am able to play midfield for my team. I will definitely need to work on my ball handling and first touch to help the team but I am now in good enough shape to do the running necessary to play midfield.
Tonight, after coaching the goalkeepers at McKay High School I was able to run around the field with my dog Pooh! I wasn't even tired after running with her. If my high school and college friends could see me know they would not recognize me and the shape that I am in.
Losing weight has definitely helped me be able to run. I am very fortunate to have been able to do this before it was too late to enjoy the extra energy.
