i went to play softball again for the first time in about 3 years on sunday. it was so much fun! i missed playing very much....it is so amazing how you can exercise really hard for three hours and you don't even really notice until afterwards, when your muscles ache!!!
i think i went a bit over the top - i cycled to hyde park (40 mins) and then played softball and then cycled all the way back. today, monday, i can hardly move! hahaha...but it feels great to know that i am getting a bit of exercise again.

maybe i should explain that a little bit:
i used to play softball in austria - for about 5 years. our team was quite good, went to three european cups etc. i really loved playing and i was a bit disappointed when i found that here in england people play slowpitch softball and not fastpitch softball. i still played for about two years here, going ot tournaments etc. it was still good fun.
then of course, my life changed quite a lot about 3 years ago and i didn't play anymore at all...my poor glove was stuffed in a bag inthe back of the cupboard.
so sunday morning i got my glove out, got the glove oil and put a nice layer on. still nice and soft, needs a bit of tightening the strings i noticed using it.

:-) it's great to have some kind of exercise that you really love.
