Today is normally my mid-week recovery with Yoga or focused stretching or foam rolling with Tony, but since we missed our regular tennis day yesterday, we moved the session to today. We are a bit shorter on time because of a class I have, but that actually was a good thing. We usually play for about 90 minutes, but today, we had just about an hour so with that knowledge, we both, without any set plan, upped our games a lot quicker and got through the warm-up a lot faster. We ran for everything and really pushed ourselves harder. Not quite to the point of sacrificing our bodies for a shot, but close. It is nice to know that we still have that extra gear we can go to in times of need or necessity. Final score was still in my favor, but the match was really fun and we pushed each other to play better and to make better shots.
Just before the match, I set up the net and had time to do my Flow in
the gym so I went for it. WHAT A MESS!!! I fell victim to that same old
thing, an unfamiliar surrounding and forgot the moves several times. I
had to restart several times, sometimes going about half-way, others,
only getting to the 2nd or 3rd move before going blank. Eventually, it
came back and I was able to nail the Flow.
When I got home later that day, I did the splits training and really pushed it. Got low and painful.
After the Flow and Tennis, I torched 850+kcals. That is only about 100kcals less for a 60 minutes session than a 90 minutes session. CRUSHED IT!!! Might do that again. Although I will miss my regular Yoga/Stretch.
