6-21-15 HY: Tennis + Water War + Badminton + Splits + TCF.
Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there! I'm sure your family is planning a busy day for you, or they are giving you the day off. Either way, I hope you have a great day.
My day started off with a light breakfast and then jetting off to play tennis with my son, then with my son and daughter later. The first 75 minutes were with my son, then I play with them both for 45 minutes. Even though my shoulder was feeling a lot better, I still asked my son to hit mainly to my backhand since hitting a forehand is still painful somewhat. If I try to power a forehand, it will really hurt, and I don't want to slow the healing progress any more than I am already. The tennis was great! Both hitting good shots and shanks. Because we were planning to be out there for over two hours, we were pacing ourselves more than usual because we didn't want to burn out in the first hour. Conserving energy is important especially in hot and humid conditions. Luckily it wasn't that sunny, but the UV rays were still present. I have a three tone tan on my arms and legs to prove it! When my daughter came, I thought I would be able to take it easy, but no. I had to run even more to chase balls. It was tiring, but fun watching and playing with them.
Then, when we got home, since it was hot, and since my daughter had bought a new double-tank water gun we played Water War for about 45 my minutes. We were just running around trying to soak each other. SO FUN! and even more tiring when we are laughing and shouting the whole time. Then my wife called us in, but since my son was already in the shower, we had to wait. So instead of playing more WW, we played badminton. That was a lot of fun, too. Badminton became a lot funner since my daughter became able to sustain a rally. We keep it going for long rallies. I really enjoy playing with her. After my son finally got out of the shower (you know how teenagers are in the shower), we took our turns in the shower. It was a tiring morning, but well worth the tiredness. I had my HRM on the whole time so this was my workout today.
In the evening, I got to the Flow and Splits... FINALLY! I had a good run on the Flow, but I had another hiccup. I dropped the ball and mixed up my direction and ended up in a different location. I didn't even realize that I got all switched up. The Splits hurt. I barely got to the mark by the end of the session, but I got a good stretch.
**I want to say that if it wasn't for this group, I would probably slack off on my splits. But writing about it here keeps me motivated to keep doing them. Especially on Friday and today. Since I didn't have time to do it during my regular workouts I didn't feel like doing it later, but knowing that I'd have to write, "I didn't do my splits today..." here didn't feel good. So I went ahead and just did them. So a big THANKS for the motivation and for keeping me going!!!**
After the morning activities, I torched a whopping 1600+kcals. Happy Father's Day to you all! Oh, and as a gift, they got me the Under Armour Shirt I have been eying for a while now. YEAH!!!
