While cooking, knitting, reading and walking are things I really love, my greatest love right now is playing soccer. About two years ago I put together a soccer team made up of mom's I hang out with. We had all been watching out kids play soccer and it looked like so much fun. We started out playing indoor futsol, which is played indoors on a gym floor. When I put out a call for gals to play, we ended up with so many people that we created two teams - the Earthquakes and the Tsunami's. After our first futsol season, we found an indoor league in South San Francisco, so we combined the teams into one - The Natural Disasters.
We have now been playing two years and we have so much fun. We have slowly improved and are now really competitive with most of the teams. The competition is great, and I often find my redneck self coming out (I blame my Southern roots). I give the ND's credit for keeping me more fit than I have been in years. While there is work to go in that arena, knowing I have a Wednesday game keeps me a bit on task and I want to be in shape so I am not out of gas during the game.
Last nights game was great. We played a team that have often beat us handily. Last evening we went into the half tied 1-1. While we lost 3-6, we really played well. What fun.
