This is actually an edited version of a previous entry. I have a bad fever and the office girl is running around quite upset because it is 3:01 and she has forgotten to make tea, so I hope this makes some sense.
On Saturday, despite a sore throat and a fever, I played 3 games with my fellow Kagawa Prefecture Soccer friends in the JET Western Japan Soccer Tournament.
The first game was my first in 2 years since I tore my ACL (see below). We won our first game 6-0 (one assist and a terrible miss on a breakaway by me!) and proceeded to lose the rest … by a lot.

This picture was taken about 5 minutes after I had just injured my knee (I tore my ACL!). I then proceeded to play the rest of the half and walked an hour and a half back to my house.
I figure after my first marathon, and a number of practices, that I am ready. In honour of this event (which is super exciting for me!) I have put up a soccer picture gallery of me on my various teams and from the tournament this weekend.
