Calvin for General Consumption

Ya know sometimes you just don’t get any luck.  It sure seems that way with my current season of footbal (soccer to some of you).   Here are the injuries I have enjoyed so far:

• Hamstring pull on right leg (May first game of the year)
• Strained foot playing beach soccer in Cuba (first week of June)
• Knee strain and some crazy over extension of my calf muscle (first week of July)
• Hamstring pull on right leg (last week of July)

I guess its probably my own fault for not training properly before the season but for god’s sake its a co-ed rec league…it should not require that level of commitment.  This last one is a real fluke because I was trying to hit the ball off the line but when I landed I landed in a mud patch and my foot slipped out from underneath me and before I knew it I was doing the splits after hearing three distinct pops from the hamstring muscle in leg.  Just so you know, it hurts like hell and this is not fun.  Good thing we have a two week layoff because I will be damned if I dont get back in the game this  year.

Frustrating is all…

There is something about this football/soccer player that kinda makes me laugh.  Even though he is/was one hell of a dangerous player…to those on the opposite team.
