The Second Time Around

The same day I got my new ball and bowled my first two games I went home for a while, worked on homework and then decided to go to a nearby alley to throw a couple of games. I paid for 1 hour and when I threw my first throw my arm basically broke down. I couldn't even pick up my 15 lbs ball, I'm horribly out of shape after 8 years of not playing...

I was still very sore Thursday and Friday but Saturday I finally felt better so in between MBA classes I decided to go throw a game at Iowa State University's Memorial Union "Underground" Bowling Alley. I threw the ball once and realized they use no oil at all. I asked the attendant and he explained that they clean the lanes but never oil them. So I picked up my stuff and left... The plan is to go throw a few games tomorrow morning in the Early Bird Special at Air Lanes $1.29 per game or maybe Merle Hay Lanes Beat the Clock $1 per game... At least I'm glad my arm is filling better. I hope to quickly get it back in shape and not have to wait 3 days between practices because of arm pain...
