Reality check

I just got home from basketball practice, and I am feeling the reality that I am not in high school and my body can not keep up with everyone. Being that a few girls were still absent due to the holidays and because I was feeling like a good workout after 2 days of non stop eating, I jumped in and was all in with the drills, sprints, and contests. Because of my competitive nature I don't know but to go 100% because I hate to lose, even if I know that I shouldn't for my sake and theirs. But today while moving towards a pass I collided with a girl full on and I did something bad to my neck and shoulders. You know it's bad when your muscles start to spasm and tighten immediately-ouch!
But again, because I am stubborn and foolish at the same time, I continued to play hard. I think I got a few boney elbows in the ribs, hip checked, and of course I made a couple dives for the ball and met the floor face first- ouch again. At this point of the practice it was all about not losing face in front of the girls and giving up. The funniest part was when I had to run to the bathroom because as any woman who has bore children knows, things are not as tight or strong down there and when you jump up and down your bladder starts to leak- this happened twice! Now I am home, I feel like all of my muscles are shaking and barely able to work. What I want to do is get in the bath and soak or lay on a heating pad. But what I will be doing is playing on the floor with the kids til they go to bed...then I will soaking! I never thought at 28 I would feel so old and sore, I guess I was wrong. I can see why professional athletes need to retire at 30.
