I think my arm is going to fall off
It's been a long week and I am exhausted, and I still have school tomorrow, though after that I am pretty much free for the next 10 days until I go back to the US... well, I have to go to school Tuesday but we have no classes.
Tonight the Fighters lost, but after the game I played catch on the field at the Seibu Dome with my friends for "Salaryman Night", which basically means "Thursday Night special event for exhausted adults who have just been through three hours of cheering to go play catch or practice fielding or whatever". I did this once last year and it was fun, so when everyone said we were planning it again tonight I was pretty happy -- I had to skip on July 1 due to my last Japanese class.
I threw with Taicho for about 10 minutes but he's too good, so he switched to throw with Tsuyoshi and then I threw with Watanabe for another 15-20 minutes, and he was a lot better for me. I haven't thrown in so long it took me a while to build up to actually throwing the full distance apart we were (I'm not sure how far it was but I think around 50-60 feet), and my control sucks these days, but I was actually pretty proud of some of the throws I was getting in eventually, like they were actually going straight across with some speed to them. I really should find a way to play catch more. Sigh.
Anyway, now my arm is starting to cramp up and I bet it is only going to be worse tomorrow. We'll see...
It started to clear out, so before we left I wanted to take some photos.
