"Currants Bw..."

Played 5 a side for the first time in about a million years tonight.

Fuck me

No thanks, but what are you saying, you're not up to the running, or the football, or both?

I keep meaning to get back into a game I used to play in, more 7 a side. I'm ever so old now though and massively unfit. Probably a bad idea.

i'd be too worried about some kind of injury picked up in the course of a game - i just do individual stuff like running, cycling and a little weight training to keep fit these days

Ironically I've injured myself cycling twice this year, almost never get hurt playing football.

Currently nursing a broken hand that's preventing me doing either

Sucks to be you

I try to live by the mantra 'you don't stop because you get old, you get old because you stop'.

I still play twice a week. The level is obviously much lower and on a Sunday it's actually coed (which means women play...it's a thing here), but it's more just to keep at it than anything else really.

If you can, you should definitely get back into it.

Wise words (unusually).
The level of the game I used to play in isn’t actually that high, when I started I thought it would be a load of 20-somethings running round like whippets while I puffed around, but it wasn’t really like that.

I should have a go over the next couple of weeks, see how it goes

So many people seem to have accidents whilst cycling, I used to have accidents on my bike all the time but that’s because I am a clutz who seldom bothers to even maintain a bike properly….unless you’re doing the Tour de France what’s your excuse?

First time, hit a tree root I didn't see. Was going what would've been a fine speed if it hadn't been there, the bastard.

Second time, approached the cycle path from a 90 degree angle a bit too quickly, got a warning shout and braked, it was wet, wheel slipped out from underneath me.

Common factor each time was speed, I'll have to be more cautious of that when I get back on.

All of those things. The dawning realisation I'm not 22 anymore, made worse actually playing a team of 22 year olds.

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.
