Slow Pitch Softball Game Last Night

Well, I got a good workout at the slow pitch softball game I played in last night. I haven't played since last year and certainly felt much better playing last night than I did last year.

I could get a little more accurate on my throwing, but considering the lack of practice time, it wasn't bad. Last year when I tried to play I just felt so "off." It had been less than a year since the birth of my son and I hadn't really done enough to get back into playing shape. This year, though I haven't been exercising quite as much as I'd like, I'm still in better condition /shape than I was last year.

It was nice for my body to more or less react and respond the way I was expecting vs. having my mind know what I should do and having my body simply not do it which is how I felt last year. I actually got a hit last night which is an accomplishment because I've always had some trouble with waiting for that ball to drop down from the sky. Then I walked in another at bat so I got on base two out of the three times I batted. I know if I actually see more of these slow pitches I'll get better at hitting them. I haven't hit slow pitch since last year and last year was really my first true experience trying to hit slow pitch (played about 5-6 games over the course of two weekends - no practice).

The great thing is...nothing hurts today! LOL

The team asked if I could play with them this weekend in a tournament, so I'll probably play again on Monday. My Sunday is already busy. We probably won't win too many games, but that's okay. I'll probably see some of my old fastpitch teammates playing on other teams, so it'll be fun. :)
