6-28-15 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF + Foam Rolling.

I was planning to do a regular workout today.  It was raining as usual like it had been for the past week or so in the early morning. Suddenly, mid-morning it cleared up and got sunny. First time to see a blue sky in over a week.  So my son tried to reserve a court close to your house, and lo and behold, the court was free. So we went and played.  My daughter wanted to play too, so she tagged along.  It took a while to get going, but once we got going, we were playing really well.  And it was a lot of fun. Then I played for about 30 minutes with each of them, singles.  I had to do a lot of running. My calorie burn wasn't that high, but once the singles started and I started needing to run for shots a lot more, my calorie burn shot up.  My shoulder is still hurting so I had to be careful with it.  But I was able to start hitting my forehand with some power behind it.  Still in a little pain, but not that bad.  The really bad pain still comes with my serve and overheads.  Still a ways to go with the healing, I guess.  When we got home, I was really tired and winded, but I changed into dry clothes, and while the kids were taking their showers, I got in my splits and Flow.

With my legs all run out, they stretched out really nicely. I was able to go past my mark and get a really good and painful stretch.  Hip flexor was also feeling it good.

I did several Flows until I felt satisfied and comfortable. No big hiccups to speak of.  The Flow has been feeling really nice lately.  Almost time to take it off the table.

After everything was all finished, my shoulder was aching a bit so I went on my mini rumble roller for about 45 minutes to get some deep tissue massage in before bed.  It feels really loose now. I wonder how it will feel in the morning.

In the end, I torched 1100kcals.  Great way to start off my week.  Time with kids and a big calorie burn.
