Paintball

Last night at dinner, my dad mentioned paintball while we were talking about sports and outdoorsey stuff. A guy at work has a daughter that is in a league and used to work at the local paintball field. She and her brother showed me their sniper paintball gun once while showing off all their gear. (Actually, I have known them since they were 2 and 3. I used to babysit for them and then later reconnected with their dad after I started working at our company.) They had a ton of stuff too. Sights, padding, tubes of paint balls, vests and then their safety gear too.

It got me to thinking, paintball is an activity that takes a lot of physical activity and it might be a good way for me to help get back into shape. I am not sure how I would do it with Alex but, I think it would be fun. I would want to rent the equipment first because it can be a costly investment but… it would be a great way to get some cardio in, work on the eye hand coordination and my reflexes. And with the right safety stuff, I don’t think I could get hurt too bad… could I?
