21 games in 19 days. When I finish my last game of the week tonight, that will be the count. Normally that would tire me out, but normally I'd have played in the fall and played in a few tournaments during the off season. Normally I would have played a lot more tournaments in the summer. I've just been so busy and my schedule has been so weird this past year and a half that I haven't done any of those things. I have been working out a lot, but that's no substitution for the real thing.

It doesn't really sound that much considering it's just softball. But if you figure I average 4 at bats per game, sprint on average just around 80 feet per at bat (I think at a modest estimate) plus run in the field regularly. That well over a mile in just sprinting alone over a period of less than three weeks. That just adds up. Especially when my muscles aren't really accustomed to that exact kind of use.

My metabolism has been through the roof trying to work through this change. I've been eating nonstop. And I'm still losing weight and trimming fat (not that this is a bad thing.) So in the mornings I have been d-e-a-d. So tired...
