RE: Season 2016
After an 8 year break I finally succumbed to overwhelming temptation and started playing footie again. Yes, I know, it’s a poor decision and will probably lead to all sorts of problems in all sorts of places but I can’t help myself. I’m 47 and I’ve decided on one last fling.

And it’s not proper 11-a-side football I’m playing, but the Spanish version of five-a-side “futbol sala” or “futsal” which is enormously popular over here. Its success partially explains the high technical proficiency of Spanish footballers many of whom have grown up playing tiki-taka on futsal parquet.

Anyway, got roped into the Friday night sessions in Toral de los Vados because the timetables were convenient and well, I just didn’t know how to say no. The footie has always been my first love after all.

The result after 4 games has been that I now know much more about my groin anatomy and I regularly hear the words “core strength” echoing from running commentary journals past.

The groin consists of 5 main muscles apparently and in 4 games I have pulled 3 of them! The two lower groin strains I recovered from pretty quickly but the upper groin which popped a couple of weeks ago was a real bastard.

Tried a gentle run on Monte Pajariel this morning. Uphill was bearable but downhill was extremely uncomfortable. Might need another week or two of rest and then I’ll start thinking a bit about this core strength business…
