School and life have gotten in the way of recreation. And healthy eating.

Recap: I need to arrive at the facility earlier. Getting there at 12:00 or later doesn’t offer a chance to sufficiently warm up which means more soreness later and a higher chance of injury. 14 guys in attendance, which is two full teams with one sub each. I was on the slightly worse team that tended to play (exhausting) long ball rather than passing.

Health Report: Okay. I got kicked in the ball of my left foot which feels okay now but will likely be sore tomorrow.

Performance: Bad. I could not hit a barn door with my passing, consistently underhitting passes—if they happened to even be aimed in the right direction. Passing is without a doubt the strongest part of my game, so when that goes there ain’t much to write home about. Shooting was okay as I did manage to score a half-dozen unspectacular goals because the opposition played with their keeper way out of position. No problems trapping.

Rating: — The worst outing so far and the downward trend is ominous—from a 3, to 2.5, now to 2. No breakfast today, a booze-saturated weekend, and hardly a warm-up surely didn’t help matters. I was closer to giving myself a 1.5 than a 2.5. No footie on Friday due to a rescheduled Spanish tutoring session and none on Monday either due to a school obligation, which means I have a week to ponder this outing. And weep.
