More and more recently I have found great relaxation in getting outside and working out while working on rugby techniques. I don't really know what it is. I enjoy doing something other than construction, answering emails or sitting in meetings. A few days ago I started really working on refining my kicking ability. So much of rugby is a game of territory...and precise kicks help gain that territory. Not to mention that many points and games are decided by a team's kicking ability.

Anyways, you probably don't care much about rugby techniques. So, I tore up my kicking leg a day or two ago. I think I kicked too much withouut stretching and warming up. I ended up stretching/pulling a muscle near my shin on my right leg. Hurt like Hades. Tonight it was feeling much better, so Sara humored me and went out with me to kick a few place kicks. After the first few kicks, I knew my leg was in trouble. So, here I sit. Ice on my leg. It throbs, it aches, it pains...

...Oh to be a younger man...
