It's down-right painful! I finally got plugged into the local soccer scene. I went to a pick-up game this past Wednesday (and plan to go again this week). I met some locals and heard about other opportunities to play. It felt great to play again, but I could tell I was out of shape.
I was cramping in both legs (both my quads and calves) by the time it was over. Before I had a "second" muscle lock-up on me, I decided to quit. I was sucking wind after the first 5 minutes. I still have great vision and even got a compliment on that aspect of my play afterwards -- which was nice. If I can get back in shape, I can play competively again for fun. I really do miss playing.
I hope I can keep this up, for the exercise, as much as the game. Although, I have to admit, that I was sore for several days after playing. The sad part is that I only played for about 70-80 minutes. That's not even a full regulation time period. I used to be able to play TWO regulation time periods without this kind of pain. I guess I'm not 19 anymore.
