The Big Three-Oh

So I'm now 30...  It hasn't really dawned on me yet, but I'm sure it will...  I had some family and a few friends over for a BBQ and much merriment was had.  I received a few pressies, notably a Yamaha 5.1 Entertainment system and the WiiFit.  Sally and I have started daily exercise with the WiiFit, hopefully with some walking and my soccer we can

In reality Chris boy thirty is just a number and a birthday another day ending in y. That's what I keep telling myself when trying to ignore my own impending birthday. Then again, I guess we should just be thankful for making it this far!

As for all your activities...I am going to side with Sally on this one. You have two very little littlies and this is an intense time and you are needed. If you are taking on all those things then where is the family time...or the chance for Sal to get some respite and do her own thing?!

Sal had that same argument... Family time is every other moment I am there which is largely the majority. I'm not going to take it all on, which is why I'm considering dropping something temporarily so I can take up the band which won't be around later (or at least the bass spot).

I think you need to explain that Soccer for you is a fitness regime, rather than "fun time". If you don't do it, you'll die at age 40, which will "inhibit" the amount of time you can spend with Sally and the family.

Many people go for a walk/jog every day for fitness (lets say totalling 6/7 hours a week). Indoor soccer + outdoor soccer is still less than this. Then most people have a couple of hobbies in addition to this.

That said, I dropped The LAN as I was getting stressed out with my workload. If you do find you need to drop something, Indoor Soccer sounds like the way to go. We are fine on numbers, and have Eric and Sam wanting to step in if we do run low, so no need to feel guilty if you bail :-)

Indoor soccer is at the top of the list I think. It'll probably just be for the winter season, while Laura is so young.

Sal and I want to go walking regularly as well, so that might be ok for the fitness replacement.
