My cousin asked me to join a soccer tournament last weekend. Soccer hasn't been on my schedule at all for a very long time, actually, to be honest any kind of training has been absent from my life for a little while now...so I was a bit skeptical towards this to say the least. But a bright sunny day outside, the promise of a great dinner afterwards, and my love for soccer convinced me and I got excited about it...the fact that I was gonna get to see my cousin run for the first time and on top of that try to kick a ball also made it hard to say no :)
As I got on the field I played the only way I know how to...which is to give 110% at all times. My mind seemed to think I was still as quick and in the same shape I used to be...well, let me just say I paid for that for about a week, hardly able to get out of bed because of my aching body...but no regrets, it's impossible for me to get on a field in a competition and just play around! It was all worth it anyway as we made it to the finals which meant we got to play at Råsunda (the swedish national stadium) in the swedish national team's real game outfit! We finished it all off with a big party at bromma airport together with all the teams. So, although sports might not be my cousin's forte, she's always fun and looks fabulous, and knows just the right places to be. Being served a great dinner, having free drinks all night, and some good entertainment made for a 3 am bed time...which in turn made it hard to get up to start work at 7 am. Luckily I only worked until noon and was probably still drunk as I left, which I'm sure was the only reason to why my muscles were still able to move.
Live a little, hurt a little, laugh a little...
