I am so sore!

I played volleyball last night for the first time since high school! Every Wednesday night a bunch of people show up and play together.. it's not a league or anything, they use the school's gym and just have fun. A friend of mine has a friend that is involved in this, and I've mentioned before that I used to play volleyball in school and thought it would be fun.. Well the friend told my friend they needed more people.. so the two of us went last night. We both have boys that have basketball practice right before that anyway so we were already there... I forgot what a work out volleyball can be.. and of course I was in better shape in high school! Is my body ever sore today... and my arms feel like they're bruised, and I think my right hand is definitely swollen.. The sad thing is everyone else there was much older than my friend and I... they were about old enough to be our parents.. and they were running circles around us! Also, even though it's for fun, these people are hard core! I couldn't believe how good some of them were, and it just made me feel bad that I wasn't quite so good so obviously I was bringing my team down, but they put my friend on the opposite team, and she's just as bad as me, so we evened each other out! Still, it was a lot of fun, and I think I'll go again next Wednesday, as will my friend although she is quite sore as well..

Oh your so lucky! I miss playing volleyball so much, I loved being on the team in High School. Matter of fact that's probably the only thing I miss about school. Lol. I hope you feel better soon!

If you keep it up you will find it is easier every time. Glad you had a good time, I haven't played that in a gym for years...once in a while I will do it on a beach....

I was sore for 2, almost 3 days! I hope I'm not quite as sore after next time!

That's great! Maybe you can outdo your friend and have bragging rights.

I know older people can be quite athletic.. I'm laughing more at myself for not being able to keep up with someone twice my age!

I think it would be great to continue going. You'll soon get fitter and your skills will return and all in all it sounds a very positive and fun thing to do.

You seem to be out of practice. But good for you that you´ll keep at it.
