Best day ever!

...even if it comes at a price.

I rode the high of my paper to this afternoon's intramural softball game...

...where I got my very first RBI! :D :D

1st and 3rd, two outs. I get up to bat. I took a ball, then swung on the second pitch...

I hit a fielder's choice, but nobody got out!! They should have thrown to first, but I was hauling my butt to first, so they went for home. And the guy made it! MY VERY FIRST RBI!!

I also scored a run when the guy behind me hit a home run. Unfortunately, I'd pulled my quad getting to first, so I ended up limping around the bases to get home...and sitting out the rest of the game :(

But that injury doesn't matter...

...because after my team finished its very first win of the season, they gave me the game ball!!! :D

I'm laid up on a couch now and can't stand up , but I'm soooo happy it almost doesn't matter. I only hope I get better fast so I can get back on the field!

Anyhow, very very happy :)

*rubs BenGay on quad* OMgosh I'm worried about the quad, because I have a rotator cuff injury now about 10 weeks old that still isn't healed completely and I know how bad that sucks.

But yay totally yay for your first RBI!!

Woo Hoo! Save that game ball, baby! You'll have fun telling your future generations about it.

I too recently strained my quads... I was trying to run six minute miles...
