Sore

For once I'm not sore where I was expecting it. I had baseball practice today and was a little worried about the elbow. However it only bothered me in one area, which surprised me. The sore thing isn't something I was expecting.

I got there, changed shoes, and started warming up with some throws. I decided to throw right handed first to give the left elbow a break. So I got out there and a few times when I caught calls it was sore on the elbow. Mostly catching across my body. But it was just little twinges, so I didn't worry. When we were done, I picked up a ball and tried the throwing motion with my left arm and it felt OK, so I changed gloves and went to warm up with someone else. It felt fine, no issues at all, so I was relieved.

We had some good infield, with me taking a bunch of time at 2nd. We had one guy that was sick playing first, and another lefty that wasn't used to infield, so I let him play first. I ran around a bunch, moving for double plays, covering behind first, a lot of running around. 2nd is work! But I did OK, and didn't make more bad throws than anyone else.

After that we did some BP and I was one of the last ones, so I didn't have a real pitcher. However I hit well, only having one swing that missed a ball, and it was a bad swing. The pitch was high and I'd normally have let it go, but I was a little anxious to hit it.

A good practice, and afterwards I jogged around a bit while Kendall played. She found a friend in the son of a teammate and was having a great time. So I did my mile and I was beat. I struggled to get a jog in and my ankles were a little sore.

When I got home, Delaney, Tia, and I went for a short hike and I could feel it in the ankles. I think all the movement in lateral directions, plus on spikes, wasn't something I was used to. I wonder how I'll feel tomorrow.
