Mediterranean Man

Back after a short interlude.
One of things I used to do when I was a lot younger at this time of year was.....no not that!
No, seriously, pre-season football training. I was living in Sussex for most of my serious football career and this time of year I could be seen on a Tuesday & Thursday evenings shuttle running, star jumping and press up'ing my way through the evening.
So 30 years on and in an attempt to keep just overweight rather than obese! I am still hankering after the hard sweat of a bygone era. Not only do I miss the training, boy did it keep me fit, but I miss the dressing room banter and team spirit/camaradary.
This evening I found myself down the local recreation ground with a brand neew (£2.99) attempting to re-create those halcyon days! I dribbled (thats running with the ball), jogged with and without the ball. Sprinted and walked around a marked out junior football pitch without anyone else!
Did I enjoy it? Sort of, however it wasn't the same as thiose days back in 70's when I could run, tackle and shoot alll night and still mange to find some energy to take the girlfriend out up to "Sterns" Nightclub!
Anyone fancy a kick about?
