Last Sunday was my Frisbee debut since taking several months off during marathon training.

It felt good to be back in the game again.

My throws were off. My cuts weren’t as sharp. I was sweating like a pig.

But my ultimate brethren didn’t care. It was a good time on and off the field.

After running around and playing for three full hours, I was off to run a few errands.

It wasn’t until that evening that I realized I was in trouble.

It hurt to change into my PJs. Lifting my arms over my head wasn’t happening. Even reaching for the remote made me stop and wince.

I self-diagnosed ultimate-itis.

By Monday, my right rotator cuff felt like it was going to fall off. The pain lingered most of this week.

Yes, I feel like I’m 90.

But at least I didn’t injure my shoulder playing kickball.

Yep, I’m on a kickball league with games starting up on Wednesday nights in March.

A co-worker is in another division that had its first game Tuesday night—the night it monsooned and there was a tornado watch until midnight.

He had a little slip and fall, which caused him to land on his elbow and jack up his shoulder.

Oops.

Game 1 of the kickball league and you’re already on injured reserve? Ouch.

We’re always recruiting more ultimate players for our pickup game. Strong rotator cuff preferred.
