1-12-16 HY: TCF + Tennis + Splits.
"Whoa!" You might say when you see today's menu. Very different from the regular tennis days. Today, my playing partner was late so after stretching out and setting up the net, I did a series of about 20 sets (left and right) of Flows. Felt really good to have unlimited space to do a full stances and full steps. I would have liked to take off my shoes and get the full effect of the contact with the ground, but the floor was freezing. So,... shoes stayed on, and I pivoted my way through the Flows, no sliding. Only one hiccup which forced me to start over, but that was it. Clean and smooth.

Once my playing partner arrived, we started right off. As usual, I started off fast and took the first game with no problem, but that was it. It was a struggle from then on. Trading winners and good shots. Some of our rallies were real slug-fests. I ended up taking the first set 6-2. I went up 4-0 in the second set, then everything fell apart. I promptly lost the next three games. I just couldn't get the balls to roll my way. To make a long story short, I finally won the last two games to take the second set 6-3. But as always, the score does not tell the whole story. It really was a battle today. And kickin' FUN!!!
I had to do my splits after getting home. I was tight so it took a little longer to get down, but I pushed it hard today. My knees were hurting from the tennis so that was a little cause for concern, but the pressure angles were not directly on the tender areas so I was fine. I can't let the pain scare me away so I have to keep on breathing past the pain. Hamys are tingling right now.
At the end of the Flow and Tennis, I torched a huge 1082kcals.
