Maybe I'm a little more athletic than I thought... NOT.
As I'd mentioned before, I'm not athletic... at all. Besides being told by my golf instructor not to come back for another lesson until I could "hit the ball three times in a row," I was essentially cut from the volleyball team in high school. Why? I sort of dodged the ball whenever it came my way. After my unsuccessful attempt to join the volleyball team, I was told that I could be the announcer at a few games. Not to brag or anything, but I was pretty good at that.
So, today, I was invited to watch some of my friends from home play in a softball game. The other team ended up canceling it, but my friends decided to get in some practice at our old high school field. I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity for me to run a mile on the track (because I haven't run since my senior year of high school, where it was a requirement). On my short drive over, I decided that I would walk the mile for fun instead (which I've never done). My friend, Risa, kept me entertained on the phone for the 30 minutes I walked. Anyway, after my "workout," I decided to stick around while my friends practiced. After most of the team left, I decided to "try out" for
Balls Deep. While I missed just about every pitch that came my way, I think I hit the ball 3 times. I doubt my friends will be making me an alternate on their team, but at least I can now say that I've "played" softball.
