Yesterday I went and played softball with my boyfriend's coworkers team. It was the first game of the season. (Yay we won!) Man am I sore today. I played catcher for one inning and realized that my knees and quads can't take it haha. Maybe I need to start doing some squats or something. We got there at 4pm to practice and the game wasn't until 6:30. It was really, really hot outside too. The games are 55 minutes long which isn't too bad, but I can hardly move today. I guess I used muscles I hardly ever use, but I've been cycling 15 miles about 2 times a week so I can't be that out of shape since that uses my quads lol and I don't hurt after doing that. Anyone else here playing on a softball team? This was also my first time playing softball as I wasn't in any sports as a child. I was just a band nerd haha

Yay for winning!


No, I don't play softball or baseball regularly, though we do sometimes go out just for fun! I'm really out of shape now, too. No fun!

Funny you should mention you bike a lot, but still softball hurt you. My dad, who is currently living and working in Yellowstone, takes all day hikes all the time. I mean, in one week he walks 80 miles, easy. Then, they had a baseball day, and he played. After one game he was SO SORE! So, you're not the only one that really is in shape but soft ball / base ball hurt!

That your muscles forgive you soon.

Wow, that's so strange that your dad is like that too. Makes me feel much better about my aches and pains! Hehe. I really wonder if you use different muscles to play ball games now..
