Note: I will be moving this “One Photo a Day” feature to a new hosting account within the next few days. It will be easier and more efficient to have the photos and descriptions stored there.
It sounded like a good idea – start playing hockey again, at the age of 51, and after not even being on skates for over a decade. It really sounded like a good idea when I found a local organization that had an “Over 50″ hockey league. So, I took the plunge and went out to practice with the old guys.
Apparently these fellows hadn’t taken the last ten or twenty years off from playing hockey. It was a tough lesson. I think I better rethink the whole idea. Perhaps I should start out playing a little bit of pick-up basketball at the center instead of this “fast, hard, fall down, have a hard time getting up, slip on the ice, get hit with hard things going really fast sport”.
It sounded like a good idea.

Sounds like my flirtation with the 8-mile run on Tuesday night. Fortunately, I don’t think I injured myself – rather it was my body’s way of telling me that I’m too fat to run that far. I’m going to keep myself at a 6 mile max for the foreseeable future.
