Non-training day activity

Believe it or not, I have not played any kind of sport for some time now.  The only exercise I do is weightlifting.  And even that I don't do as well as I want to.

My colleagues have been asking me to join them for a game of basketball.  Gosh... the only kind of basketball that I play is the one at the arcade.  And I suck.  And here they are wanting me to run around the court, while dribbling a ball and try to shoot it into the darn hoop.

I was actually concerned that I couldn't move fast enough.  That all that weightlifting made me inflexible.

Thus I am happy to report that I moved pretty okay for someone who hasn't played any kind of sports for many many years.  I was pretty fluid (it could be better) and didn't suffer injuries due to inflexible joints or crap like that.  Just a bit disoriented and rigid because I was more accustomed playing netball (product of an all girls school) rather than basketball.

I suck at shooting the ball though.

Oh well.  Perhaps with a bit of practice I'll get better.
