Tuesday was my first attempt at pitching a softball game. While it wasn't a complete disaster it definitely wasn't pretty. I ended up with a couple of strikeouts but none of those were from well placed pitches or working the count. It's all about lucking out and having batters go down swinging. I couldn't throw many strikes and my team did end up losing but a good time was had by all.

Next Tuesday we are playing again. Thankfully we have someone else to pitch for us next week which means I can go back to my happy place at first base. Thank God!

I played my first round of golf at the Grandview Golf Course today. The green fees are a little pricy but it is definitely worth it. The course is in great shape and the views are, well, grand :)

I played a pretty good round. I managed to shoot a respectible 103. I'm still on my quest for a sub 100 round but I'm getting closer all the time.

On the injury note my hamstring didn't get sore at all today (possibly thanks to the power cart we rented). My knee however did get pretty sore around the 12th or 13th hole. I'm thinking it's a little overworked due to the weakened hamstring. Ah well, better be rested up for softball on tuesday :)

Let the summer of sports continue!

I haven't been updating lately so I figured I should start with an update on my ball hockey games. Two Tuesdays ago we played and I unforunately went down in a world of hurt. I managed to pull my left hamstring while attempting a save. The good news was that I made the save. The bad new was that pulling your hamstring hurts like hell!

I figured I would be out for awhile but by Tuesday of this week everything seemed to be feeling good enough to play. My hamstring was still a little tight and sore when I moved in certain ways but I took myself off the injured list and stepped into goal after only one week.

This week was a big game. Our little office series was all tied up at 3 games a piece. Too keep a long story short it was a very competitive and close game. Unfortunately the other team managed to pull out a victory in overtime. My only solace was that I made some great saves. Guess there's always next time :)

Next week we are moving onto a new sport. It time to take advantage of the great weather and play some softball! My leg is still a little sore but I'm sure I'll be ready to go come Tuesday. I cait wait!

I just posted another album of photo's for Lauren. This time it's pics from her Grad a week or so ago. You can view the album here.

The latest round of games in our ball hockey series was played tonight. It saw my team get another win and put us 1 game back of the other team. The series is now 3 games to 2.

I really had forgotten how much I love playing hockey. I of course never really played ice hockey, I really should learn to skate, but ball hockey is an excellent alternative. I'm loving my new goalie equipment too. I think I might have to get some of the guys together and put a team into one of the local leagues. That would be wicked fun.

Thats about it for me tonight. Time to go and do some more stretching so I'm not completely immobile tomorrow :)
