Week 1 of Flag Football

 So I was talked into playing flag football.  I was aware of this league but passed on it initially because catching and throwing the football was never my skill set.  I was a lineman.  Hitting, blocking, and smashing into people was what I did.  People get the wrong impression when they hear you played college football, they assume you'll actually be good at flag football.

Well, this day I was actually good.  I caught 2 touchdowns!  

(comparable but not exactly the same as below)


Our offense was struggling, sputtering, you might say and my touchdown was the first for our team.  My catch, perhaps, ignited our offense.  We went on to win 7 touchdowns to 4.  

The down side to this glorious day was my pulled hamstring.  Whilst sprinting and playing defense I felt the pangs of being out of shape.  My hamstring failed me.

(My face looked very similar to this)

Yet our team survived and ran out the clock while I limped around.

Now I ice and stretch and hope for recovery by week 2.
