2nd Base

No this is not the beginning of a big romance. I finally showed up for a softball game, and played second base. I am still not comprehensively fit -- this is apparent in the very slow beginning to my sprint... uh run...ish - to first base. And I really should have stretched a bit before I started jumping around like that.

I also have to give notice that I will have a very interesting bruise on my shin tomorrow, because sometimes, just "getting in front of the ball" isn't enough. it has to hit you before it will stop.

After this Softball "experience" I've decided that it is highly unlikely that I will run/jog anything tomorrow. I think it's time for an extra day, to end the week. And on Friday or Saturday I'll jump back into the program -- Week 6 Here I Come

Afterward we went to Taste of Peoria. A mini version of Taste of Chicago on a Wednesday night.
I have no idea why this event is on a Wednesday. It's not like there's a crime issue in Peoria. It was, nonetheless, very well attended. Go Central Illinois!

This Sunday I'm going antiquing. It's been quite an adventure learning how people in semi-rural/semi-urban locations fill their time. It's different, and - in many ways - horizon expanding.
I'll let you know how the antique fair goes...
