you just hit a base it that dropped behind second base and sprint to 1st. Runner on 1st gets to 2nd... as you stand at 1st cheering on your teammate at bat... you wait anxiously for the 1st base coach to tell you to run. He hits the ball... fast and hard. You start running...as you get to 2nd you look up to see the signal to keep going, you get to 3rd and look up to see the signal to go home... you push it and you make it and the crowd goes wild!!! Right? WRONG!!! well not completely but ...
In actuality, you dread this hit because your legs feel weird from your sprint to 1st. Once he hit the ball you take off running, after you run for what seems like an eternity you hit and as you are rounding out to 3rd they scream out keep going and run faster and your only reply is "I CAN'T" because your mind and legs are in the middle of an argument and your legs have thrown a coup. Then just as you pass 3rd where you just knew the base coach was going to hold you but didn't...your teammate who hit the ball while you were on 1st starts chanting in your ear that he is right behind you and that he is going to catch you.... yeah, you read that right... the batter has caught up to you.
While everyone else is cheering at the three score hit that just happened, that is when I realize that my thigh muscles are on FIRE... like omg, somebody shot the sheriff, the deputy and the bank robber. I'm walking but my brain is no longer in control of what my legs are doing...there is an intruder in the control room.
So I start my recap:
I stretched
I did run to 1st on my first hit and I didn't hurt
I only did 1.4miles on Monday after practice
I stretched
I had plenty of water
I had a banana with my cereal
I stretched
I've been runninng
My ankles feel great
I stretched
They said I ran faster than they have seen me run...
They said I sprinted to first pretty fast (with the bat)...
They said great hit and great run...
So why do I feel like this? why?
Because my thigh muscles are BROKEN.
It is the only logical explanation...broken muscles, not torn...just broken.
So apparently between running and softball my thighs have decided it is going to lead the next leg of the movement to finding sexy #1toddlerdown1togo
