5-12-16 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.

5-12-16 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.

It's been two weeks since I last played so I was wondering how things would go in today's session.  Also, I have been a little worried about my knee since at certain angles it won't bear weight.  Plus, I can't find my knee brace.  That being said, adrenalin covers all sorts of pain.  After a cautious warm up, I felt good, so I went ahead and shifted into a higher gear.  The shots and mishits came, but control was also present.  I felt good, and I could see the ball well.  The waves of concentration were in my favor so I had to capitalize when I was up, and withstand the crashes when down.  Ended up taking the match 6-2, 6-2, 3-0.  The other wildcard condition was that the gym floor had small pools of water on the opposite side because of drippage from the ceiling.  The first time I went to retrieve a ball from that side, I slipped and almost fell.  Then around the middle of our session, the dripping started close to the net on our side of the gym.  Very dangerous so we had to be more careful, not to mention what happens to the ball if it rolled through the water.  But despite that, it was a good session.

I had to do my splits and Flow after work a little later in the evening, but the splits were good.  I'm finding the warm up stretches are a little easier and I can get to my mark a lot faster than I used to.  I will have to keep pushing to get lower.  The Flow was good all around except for the knee issue again.  I had to step lightly and at a slightly different angle than my left, but it was good.

In the end (of the tennis only), I torched 950+kcals. I'm hoping to get more tennis in later this month with a different group of people.
