Tennis Success

I am not sure what has gotten into me but I have been sleeping in on the weekends. As a trend it is a bad thing, as an individual day it is great to wake up after 8am. Even better, Pat made breakfast! It was so close to the time the gym opened that I decided to roll the dice and go later (in this small gym it could mean that I will not get a machine). Today it worked out for me the only one who was in today was one of the regular guy's. I had my choice. Yet I still wimped out and chose the easier elliptical. (I had a mild headache).

While walking home from my workout I noticed that the tennis court was unlocked. Instead of waiting and having to get the key later we decided to go and play right then.

We both Suck! And it was awesome. we played for almost an hour before I gave in. It took many tries to get past 2 consecutive hits, 5 felt like we were superstars! I have an odd habit of jumping for the ball, even when I do not have to. It makes me look more professional (even when I miss the ball by a mile).

I did learn early not to reach for balls. one of the first bad returns from Pat I decided I could get if I just reached a little. Not only did I miss, I did not remain upright. It was the only fall of the day and no injuries were sustained.

After all that exercise I was tired! I ate a HUGE lunch and took a nap. A very long Nap. Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight, if not at least my headache is gone.
