Or a 24 year break ? I must be nuts, played for 3 teams at the same time during most of my teenage years (+school and rep) , suffered a massive burnout ...swannsong wrote:What about a 13 year break and making a comeback ?
Still the ankle is the only casualty from day 1 training....

Two weeks in and 3.5 kgs lighter already, so off to a good start, have made it through a couple of internal practice matches with the U17's ...

First training in 14 years tonight (not 13 as I had thought), and I could still walk afterwards.
Like Rodent said, if all I do is lose the 15-20 kilo that I want to then it will all be worthwhile.

I was told tonight that icebaths were excellent for recovery...something like ice bath for 5 minutes, warm shower...ice bath etc.Bodø Glimt wrote:So sore !
I think a dip in the morning sea would work similar miracles !
I've trained, but I have yet to pull the gloves on.

Re: Is it ever too late to make a comeback...
The povman is fading away, down to 103.2 kgs, my own personal goal is to make it on the park just once, anything more is a bonus , the 5.7kgs I have lost is probably a bigger bonus , weight wise I would love to trim down to 90kgs, it is going to get harder but I am up for it...

Can the pitch at Glenunga sustain that many games on one day?
