The Gimp
Last night, I played kickball for the first time since…well, I can’t remember the last time I played kickball, though it’s likely the last time I played was sometime between 6th and 8th grade. Sadly, my return to the diamond after a decade’s absence was destined to be a short one. In the second inning, I had a kick sail into shallow right field. I had rounded first and was almost to second when my right leg decided to stop moving, which made me fall face-first into second base.
When I got up a few seconds later, I realized what had just happened: my right hamstring, which I had pulled back in high school, had been strained. I’ll be hobbling around for the time being, so if you see me walking awkwardly, that’s why.
