Last Night's Game

Last night I played a lacrosse game in Spanish Fork against the UVU alumni. It was a cold, and somewhat drizzly evening. We were playing under the lights, and the chill started to take a toll on me. I thought I got a decent enough stretch in before we started, but I guess I was wrong. Only a minute or two into the first quarter I dodged past my defender, and started rushing toward the goal. As I closed in on the goalie I got hit by about two or three guys from the other team, and ended up on the cold ground. I got up quickly and shook myself off, but there was an undeniable aching pain in my left hamstring. For a while I just thought that my muscles were still tight, and that I must have not stretched well enough. I tried to continue to play, but through out the night I couldn’t do anything more than just jog around on the field, because my leg hurt so badly. Thankfully, I was still able to play decently, and put a couple goals in that night, and had a good time. But today my leg is really sore. I’ve never pulled a muscle before, and so I’m not really sure how to treat it. All I do is ice it, and take it easy. Hopefully I’ll be back to full speed by Wednesday when we play BYU. I need to make a good name for myself as I’m hoping to play for them next fall.
