As I sit down to type this, my legs are feeling a little sore....but it's the good sore which means they got a workout! And lately, my legs haven't gotten much of a workout, so the pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee was just what I needed tonight!
I remember in college when the guy across the hall had asked us to play Ultimate Frisbee a couple times and we always said no. It never sounded like anything I wanted to do. I guess my move to Kansas helped me try new things....one of those being Ultimate Frisbee. Two years ago I signed up last minute for the CCS Ultimate Frisbee league and have been playing off and on ever since. Originally, when asked what my favorite CCS sport was, I would say flag football. However, if asked today, my answer has changed to Ultimate!
Between two seasons of CCS Ultimate and a couple years of pick-up games after work, I have really grown to enjoy the game! I even became the proud owner of a pair of cleats this spring and boy, what a difference they made! (They even came with inter-changeable colors for the Nike swoosh!)
Ultimate is a great workout - lots of running (and let's face it...it's about the only way I am running these days). The pick-up games are also just a lot of fun. The people out there are there because they want to be and not because they have to be. The weather was colder tonight, which was a change from the hot, summer evening games. It's been getting dark earlier, but thankfully the lights from the tennis courts provided enough light to play a little bit longer. I may not be the best but I sure do have a good time! What a great way to start off the week!
I am glad I was able to be your first Ultimate Frisbee team Alison!
