What the mind wants to do, sometimes the body cannot


Why is it that our heads (our hearts and minds) feel so much younger than our bodies?  Well perhaps this is only true after a certain age…for some that age might be 30, for others 40.  But, it’s a truism right?

I had the sobering experience of playing women’s lacrosse on Friday night in a parents vs. girls game.  I played Attack…chosen by me specfically because there was very little running invovled.  And even so…very sore the next day.   My head knew what to do but my body just wouldn’t cooperate.

So, I’m on a mission…to play again next year but with more penache, more skill, more agility and definitely more speed.  We’ll see if it is even possible to reverse some hands of time and some couch potato-ness.
