Getting in shape for soccer

Ok, it's just around the corner. For years, I've wanted to make my High School soccer team, and the tryouts are in just a couple months.

Blisters

Hi. I used to row fairly frequently about a year ago, never that seriously though. Now, I am going crazy trying to get fit for high school soccer try outs and am rowing pretty frequently, and a lot harder for half an hour normally. I am using some padded biking gloves that worked for me before, but ...
