Anyone for a game of rounders?

So this morning, my friend and I planned on going to circuits. When we got there, however, we found out we were actually going to be playing rounders. Now you might think rounders sounds fun. You might have fond memories of playing rounders at school with your friends. You were also probably one of those people who were capable of making bat to ball contact. That one time you did actually manage to hit the ball, I bet somebody didn't catch it and shout "out". If you haven't twigged yet, I am not a big fan of rounders. There are a number of reasons for this.

Reasons I don't like rounders

• I can't catch.
• I can't throw.
• I have no hand to eye co-ordination.
• I am fiercely competitive. It is not wise to give me a bat when playing a game against others.
• Regardless of how many times I play it, I will never understand the rules.

We wanted to leave and just go to the gym but the lady made us play one game at least. I mean it was okay, for rounders. My friend and I were not too shabby as it turned out. We both managed to actually hit the ball. Numerous times. The first time it happened, I was in shock and failed to run for ages. There was one time when I actually CAUGHT THE BALL (with one hand) when somebody hit it and got them "out". I like to think of it as rounders karma for all my previous dark experiences. 

Despite our achievements, I don't think we will be going back. We wanted a proper workout and rounders did not suffice. I went for a run after. I kept getting a weird pain in my ribs. Like knots? My "run" was a combination of running, being in pain, obscene language, walking for a bit, further obscene language and so on. To say I was frustrated with myself is an understatement. I am going to try again tomorrow and hopefully it will be better. It can't see how it can be worse. 13.6 miles is looking oh so far right about now..

Goodbye for now..
