Since we are discussing Baseball…

If you’ve been a follower of my blog for a while, you know I LOVE the game of baseball and I absolutely LOVE playing softball. 

You’ll also remember that last year around this time (actually, it was June), I broke my foot playing softball for a local city league team.  First broken bone ever.  I hated it. I hated being confined to that stupid boot. 

You’ll also remember the nickname my teammates gave me last year “Albert”!  Hahah!

As I was flipping through pictures this weekend, I came across quite a few that brought me back….(not too far back cause I didn’t graduate THAT long ago!)  Look what I found!   It’s some pictures of me playing Softball back in high school!  Hah!

This was for recreation softball during the summer – my Sophomore year of high school. Look at that hair! Man…it was soooo long and poofy!  Thank GOD for flat irons!  We hosted a National State Tournament in our town – teams from all over the USA were there.  I remember playing a team from California called “The Mermaids”!  Don’t ask how I remember that-I remember a lot of crazy unimportant things!

I had a blast that year! :0)

Here’s the summer before my Senior Year!  I couldn’t find any “really old” softball pictures – I started playing in 7th grade.

So, I’ve ALWAYS been an outfielder (see pic above – I’m all the way to the right of the picture) – but apparently, someone decided to swap positions and put me at 2nd base (see pic below)?!  I definitely don’t remember ever playing 2nd base!!

Last but not least, my Senior Year photo for High School!

Seniors in our last high school softball game.  We made it to the Regional Playoffs that year!

That was kind of fun!  I love walking down memory lane every once in a while.  Lately, its seems I’ve been even more sentimental than usual….

As far as workouts go-this week, I’ve been going to bed at 9 p.m. every night and waking up at 4:30 a.m. for a workout. It’s just so much easier to work out in the morning when my afternoons are usually so busy!  I have been working on Jillian’s Ripped in 30 and seriously- that woman is a beast!!!  I try to alternate days – Jillian one day, running the next, etc.  Yesterday, I ran 4 miles on the treadmill before work.  I don’t have a set routine (cause that would never work for me) so I just take it day by day! :0)

Thanks for following along! :0)

  1. I wish I could get up that early to workout. I like sleeping too much I think. :)

  2. What great memories you have from high school! Glad you still play.

    Yeah, mornings are the best workout time for me - afternoons leave me dragging my butt 4 miles down the road - ugh!

  3. Oooh I love softball! I'm not very good at it, but it is such a fun sport. :)

    It looks like you have some amazing memories from school!

    Oh, and I also wanted to thank you for your comment on my guest post. I've discovered it is quite common for spouses to know each other's fb passwords. That's definitely something I want to do when I get hitched! xo
