Our softball team isn't bad, but we sometimes get our butts kicked. And on rare occasions, it even leaves a bruise.

I took a big turn rounding first and baited a throw from the shortstop. He fired the ball in my direction and if we were playing dodgeball, I would have been out. It might have hurt if I got drilled in my lower back or the kidneys, but it just got me in the gluteus maximus. Luckily, I had been doing the Buns of Steel workouts. I showed I was a gamer by playing on.

When I got home, I discovered the ball left a little red mark. I would show you guys a picture, but my friend Hannah Montana said I should probably keep those photos to myself.
