6-16-16 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.

TENNIS DAY!!!  Second tennis day this week.  I really like playing twice a week.  There is noticeable improvement and noticeable increase in consistency which is where I need the most work.  Although it was a good day for tennis, there were some odd circumstances. First, it was raining all night and morning so the humidity level was very high, probably the highest this year.  That affected the air in the gym, in that is was heavy, and it seemed like the sound waves were slower or at least the sound was greatly dampened.  The sound of the ball off our rackets was very different.  Second, I got new balls so we were having timing issues with the live balls.  Third, I was breaking in new shoes.  They felt really good, but at the same time, they were a bit stiff.  Once they are a little more broken in, they'll be great.  It was a somewhat wavy session, but not as many lows as there were highs.  I also was able to sustain the highs a little longer than the past.  I was able to dig out of the lows a little faster.  The match score ended up being 6-2, 6-1, 3-0.  It was nice to play, and a challenge to raise our games when we needed to.  Again, we both were ripping winners and they felt good!

Before playing today, I did the 22 Push Ups Challenge.  Today's variation, Decline Push Ups.  I did it in the gym and if the camera was closer, it would have caught huge beads of sweat dripping off my face.  Good round.

I had to wait on the Splits and Flow until after my night class, so I didn't get to them until around 10:30pm.  But I got them done and I pushed it hard.  Feeling the stretch.

In the end, that is after the tennis, I torched over 1050kcals.  Nice big burn!
