very sore

we had softball practice for the first time on sunday. holy crap am i sore. you would think that i ran a marathon. i am just miserable today, all i can think about doing is crawling in bed and sleeping until i'm not sore anymore. so, i can't figure out why so sore? it could be a) i haven't done any substantial physical activity since the new knee or b) i'm getting fricking old or c) the lack of beef (and mostly all red meat) in my diet.

i'm hoping for a combination of a) and b) because i'm happy not eating beef. but how will i know if my diet has anything to do with it? i guess i can just keep on the yoga until i recoup, then i can see if i get as sore after next practice. does this sound reasonable? i guess i can't think too hard because my muscles are so sore and my brain is working so hard reminding me about it every time i move, that i don't have any excess smart juice at the moment.

one good thing to report though.... well a few things actually. i can still pitch ok, even after not doing it in a long time. i also had no trouble hitting a ball. and finally, probably most exciting for me, my knee is doing ok. granted i was very easy on it and really didn't do much running around. but still, no swelling or serious pain or even the weird pain that was haunting me last week.

any nutritionist that may be reading, feel free to give me ideas on how to get my musles back into order without beef. heck, if there are some massage therapists out there reading (preferrably female and cute), drop me a line if you want to rub me down. maybe i should get my sister to rolf me???? that's another blog of worms though.
