Basketball Jones
August 8th, 2003Note to self: Try to get in shape. No, really.
I was in for a rude awakening today when I played a game of half-court basketball with some coworkers during lunch. It wasn’t that they had a particularly better skill level than me. I was just way, way, way, way, way hurting during most of the action. Some of it was because of the extreme heat, but I have a feeling most of it was because of my sad, sad lack of exercise. It suddenly occurred to me, with the weight of a brick shooting through my gasping heart and lungs, that I’ve been sitting at a desk job for over five years.
There are some pretty good workout facilities where I work now. If I had any sense whatsoever, I’d be visiting them more often.
