My Actifit Report Card: August 3 2024
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of dew kissed grass beneath your feet and the sun peeking over the horizon on a Saturday morning. That’s the vibe I woke up to this weekend as I prepared for yet another epic football gathering with the guys.
Saturday mornings for me is for football as you all know . As I arrived at our usual spot ,the local field with its well worn goals and the faint smell of freshly cut grass ,the laughter and bants from my friends greeted me before anything else. Got to love the feeling that comes with our weekend tradition! We all brought our A-game, each of us knowing that a little 5-aside set gameplay goes a long way.
Once we settled on teams, the trash talking began, fueled by last week’s match where I may or may not have scored the final goal. My friend Sydney took it upon himself to remind everyone at least a dozen times, but it only added to the excitement. The warm-up jogs I usually do helped me in getting ready for the incoming intense football actions.
When the whistle blew, it was all about the game. The energy was electric. I found my rhythm quickly, weaving in and out of players, trying to outmaneuver Sydney and other opposing players that were determined to keep me from the goal. We passed, we tackled, and we cheered each other on. Each goal brought cheers and high-fives, while each near miss resulted in collective groans
As the sun climbed higher, we wrapped up a competitive match (which I may or may not have won again!). Exhausted but exhilarated, we collapsed onto the grass, reminiscing about the highlights of the match while catching our breath. The laughter echoed around the field as we recounted every goal, every near miss, and all the ridiculous .
As I drove home, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for these moments. Soccer isn’t just a game for us; it’s a tradition that brings us together, a way to escape the hustle and bustle, and a reminder of the joy of friendship.
Can’t wait for next Saturday! ⚽️
