Soccer

While only just recovering from hip surgery, I asked to play only 15 minutes of this Sunday's game. As it turned out, I played all of the first half, plus 15 minutes of the second. Hip seems fine. My fitness is shot to hell though. Disappointing result as we lost 5-1.

I went up for a couple of corner kicks, and would've scored on one but for a saving defensive header. One of their goals was probably my fault as I left my man to try to clear a ball chipped into the middle, which I failed to clear (and the man I was covering eventually scored).

Injuries: butt scrape from slide tackle (not far from the surgery scar).
