So being alone on a new city is becoming an interesting thing. Even though I complain about this job's constant relocation, now I am starting to like it. Back in Michigan, a friend suggest me the meetup.com website to join group and meet new friends. It worked perfectly since I joined an athletic group that was playing soccer on weekends.
It was really good because I was able to play my favorite sport. The only problem was the weather. Since Michigan is always cold, most part of the year was not possible to play soccer. Relocating to a warmth state like Texas, is total different. Here most part of the year is hot. So sports like soccer is played the whole year around.
I tried using the meetup.com website again but here it not popular for sports. I found dating group. So far I havent tried their events. So for soccer I venture alone in the parking asking information about pick up games. I found 2 great groups so far. One for saturday and the other one for sundays.
This past weekend, I tried both games. It was awesome. I was able to play and burn calories. I also learnt that I should have a better breakfast. My weak breakfast made me dizzy. I bought more groceries for weekend breakfast. I enjoyed playing this weekend.
I really nice to practice more and improve. It's been a lot of years since I dont really play soccer and I dont have good skills anymore. The only good thing is that I am fit because of boxing/kickboxing. So at least I can run and keep the pressure. But overall my skills are kind of low compared with the rest of the team.
Most teams are coed. Even girls play better than me. I guess american have improve a lot on this sports. I dont doubt someday they might win a world cup.
