Leg Check

Soccer yesterday was very healthy fun. Our play was fast and fluid. We attacked and penetrated well. I am so thinking dirty right now. And Nazir and I made quite a formidable defensive pairing. All in all, it was very satisfying.

Then later that night I started aching all over, and realised I collected a few minor injuries. Thing is, they're very irritating injuries - the kind that don't put me in a lot of pain, but make my daily activities slightly more difficult.

For one, there's that bruise on the inside of my right foot. Cause? I accidentally kicked a wall. That, combined with running in a shoe with busted cushioning. Now everytime I take a step my foot will hurt like crazy.

I also sprained my right ankle. Cause? Running weirdly because of the bruise on my foot. Now everytime I take a step my ankle will hurt like crazy.

Then there's that bruise on my left shin. Cause? Attempting to block a shot (which I did successfully) but getting kicked in the shin instead, during the follow-through. Now everytime I take a step my shin will hurt like crazy.

Finally there's the bruise plus wound on my ass. Cause? Yet again I did not wear undies to play soccer, and I fell and scraped my ass against the floor. Now everytime I take a step, pain will jolt up to my ass, and it will hurt like crazy.

So basically now I can't walk without looking like an idiot, wincing in pain.

But for the brand of soccer we played yesterday, it was totally worth it.
