Pablo is playing basketball! He joined the "husband team" of Las Tablas. A lot of the players are the husbands and boyfriends of the girls on my team. Now we are officially one tall, powerful, basketball playing couple!
Pablo hasn't played basketball for about three years so its been a little bit of a process getting back into shape but he is doing great. I went with him to his first practice last week since I can't make the girl's practices because of work. We both had a good, hard practice and Pablo fit right in without any problems. He is huge and very strong so he dominates! I think his new teammates were impressed and made sure he signed up so he could play in the game on Saturday. Pablo was hesitant to jump right in because of his past problems with his back but after the practice he felt really good and really enjoyed playing basketball again. His back felt fine even though every other part of his body hurt!

| Defense! |
The next day he did all the paperwork and signed up and he was ready for his first game. This was my first time seeing him play a basketball game as well and he is a force in the middle. His main thing is rebounds and defense and he does very well. It was a close game but in the end they lost. You can tell they don't have experience playing together as a team but I'm sure they will improve. He had fun but was disappointed they lost and every part of his body hurt.

Pablo now has games every Saturday and I have games every Sunday. It keeps us entertained, in shape and we are still waiting for the days we meet up with our teammates to drink some beers- that is really why we are doing this basketball thing you know!
