I think sports are a great way to find an alternative focus even if only for a sometimes short while. I have been riding a somewhat manic roller-coaster of thinking lately and, even though my body is in certain disarray to a somewhat system-shock kind of level, I think I really needed the diversion. Life is full of pain and I guess it feels a little better to recognize myself as the source of this particular pain.
It also puts me into the mindset of testing myself against the harsh elements of physical fatigue and stress. A man likes to get a sense of what he is "made" of, so to speak. I am apparently "made" of some collapsing muscle groups, a wilting back, and a nearly useful right shoulder... with a small sprinkling of anti-inflammatories circulating in the system. Not a bad place to be in all actuality.
