To get in real good shape, play indoor lacrosse.  I just got back a little over an hour ago from practicing with a team based in Buffalo, and it ruled.  I'm tired, body is slightly sore, but it was worth it.  And with the way hockey has been treating me lately, lacrosse may be my new number 1 sport.  Which would be okay with me, I don't have time to waste going to rinks to see if a team needs an extra player.  The lacrosse team has accepted me, despite it being my first time out there.  SO, it's time for me to make up my mind as to which one is more importnat to me, and lacrosse has just stuck it's nose out in front.
