10-12-15 HY: Tennis + Running + Pull Ups + Splits + TCF.

Today was a national holiday in Japan called "Sports Day" so all the sports facilities, which one must usually pay for, were all free today. So I went to play tennis with my son in the morning.  We only could play for an hour because he reserved 2 hours to play with "his friends" so I started of fast and furious. Sped up the warm up and started powering everything I could.  In the hour of play, I was only able to burn about 750kcals which was under my desired goal of 800kcals so while my son went to play with his friends, I went for a quick run around the park on a lovely rubberized running path.  I did 2km in exactly 10 minutes.  Oh, Did I mention that I hate running?  I only do it in the most dire circumstances.  I figured I only had about 50kcals to go, so a quick run would take care of that.  I got on the track and saw that it was only 700m so I thought I would just go an extra 300m to go a whole kilometer.  Once I got started, it actually wasn't that bad and I was able to keep an okay pace.  I ended up running straight for 2km.  I would have gone 400m more if I had known that 2400m was a mile-and-a-half.  In high school, I never achieved that Presidential Fitness Award because of two things, the 1.5 mile run and Pull ups.  Now, I'm sure I could hit that test out of the park. Oh, to be then what I am now.

After the run, I was feeling actually pretty good so I went and hammered out 10-5-5 pull-chin-pull ups.  After the second set, I had a little scare when I jumped off the bar and the top of my left foot felt like it started to cramp up. But thankfully, it cleared up in a few minutes and actually felt really loose afterwards.

When I got home, I did the splits and Flow.  It was a good session!

In the end, I torch over 1600kcals.  Good Sports Day!
