Basketball?! great for fitness

I got called in to sub with the women's rec' league in Victoria- I haven't ran since the marathon really, besides some spurts here and there. (like on Tofino Beach, trying to make it so that I'd leave only a light "Chi" footprint.

Anyways- I can run for 4 hours fine- but sprint/shuffle for 5 minute intervals is a whole other world. Going Anaerobic was awesome- My lungs were burning at first, and then all went well - lots of fun to be back.

I was nervous about injury (oh the infamous ligaments of female ball-players). So I jogged a bit and stretched before. I could feel my hip flexor at one point, and a bit of that clicking action in my left leg- but no pain or discomfort. Probably good for me.

I'm wondering if this would be a good alternative for running sprints? I could play a few more Monday nights.
