ME? FAST? You've GOT to be kidding...

Yup, I couldn't believe my ears last night when someone at softball told me that. I used to be fast - when I was a kid - I could outrun all the boys on the playground. Then I grew up and got slow. Running the bases last year, I was slow. Not painfully slow, but certainly not fast. Maybe losing 15 lbs helped...

Either way, it was a great compliment. I'm also playing catcher this year instead of second base, which at first I was bummed about, but I actually like it because I'm involved in every play of the game, and my arm is getting better. I should count how many throws I make in a game - it's good. Sure, sometime I'd like to get back on the field, but for now this is fine. I can relax, talk to the pitcher, take the throws that come to me, and just get up and hit...and then run really FAST! :)
