So I was feeling pretty good and decided I wanted to try to play some basketball at an open gym. I need to exercise and having spent the better part of 15 years playing basketball at a high level relative to my age I thought it would be an good way to get some exercise.
The open gym was a bunch of guys 30+ years old. Some were still decent, some looked and played as if they might have been good high school ballers. It was a half court game and the level of basketball seemed just about right for my first game of basketball in over a year...
The first 4 or 5 games I missed about 15 point blank shots. I got only 1/4 the rebounds I should have. It was a pretty pathetic display of basketball for a guy 6'10", but I did throw a few sweet passes. I was adequately hydrated and had eaten a few almonds before playing. I got a great deal of exercise.
The last 2 games I played I started to be a more comfortable... I made a few shots and got a few more rebounds. I am looking forward to going back on Wednesday and I think I have found my form of exercise M-Th. 1/2 court basketball M/W and volleyball T/Th. I still have around 100 pounds to go, but I am fast approaching a weight where in the past I played some decent ball.
All in all a successful first step.
