First Softball Pains

Ugh, I'm in pain! Friday after school was the first "practice" for playing softball this summer at Cobbs Hill. Basically a few of us met on the field at school to play catch and do a little batting in hopes of preparing for the start of the season sometime in the middle of June. I was fully aware that I would be sore after throwing a ball around and swinging a bat, but I was not quite prepared for the degree of soreness.

My right (throwing) arm and shoulder are predictably a little sore, but the killer is my entire torso. Every muscle involved in bending or turning or doing anything hurts. It's better now, but this weekend it was pretty rough. I still have a little residual cough from my cold a few weeks ago, and it feels like someone is punching me when ever I cough. Don't even get me started on sneezing; I sneezed when we left a restaurant on Saturday night and nearly cried.

The corporate challenge is this week and I have a feeling I'm going to die while attempting it. 3+ miles while completely out of shape is bad enough, but while you're already wrecked from other strenuous shenanigans sounds like a bad idea.
