Did You Enjoy It

Off-season training running, lifting weights Grueling workouts we loved to hate Pre-season practices 10 pushups per lay-up missed Wind sprints brought on the blisters Complain? ~ from the team dismissed Then came the league games the chances for glory No post-season without a winning record lose too many, 'twas the end of the story A question nobody asked back then, 'Did you enjoy it?' Looking back, I'm glad I played, but ~ 'not even a whit!'

I did not do any sports in high school, and I can truly say I am glad that I missed it. I did play racquetball as a young adult, and I adored it. I took the top trophy in the league, for I was the fastest.

Those were the days my friend I think back and think what I put my body through I was a sprinter in high school, also played professional soccer. The practices and the time practicing at home was almost non stop. I do not know how I did it... Thanks for sharing...
