This is another Double Day.  I'm going to do them as long as I can which means for only 5 more weeks, until the semester ends.  So I'm taking advantage of the extra time as much as possible.

In the morning, I started off with some cardio and stretching.  Perfect way to wake the body and mind up.  I really like all the moves and the stretches mixed in.  Straight 25, but I had to take the intensity out of a couple of moves because I wasn't prepared for the sweat to fly off of me like it started to do around the 12 minutes mark.  With all the rain comes the humidity, and I just didn't want my stuff to be splattered with sweat.  But on everything that didn't have a flailing extremity, I pushed it.  I was able to get a good burn today.

The Splits and Flow were right on par with last night.  Pushed low and good some good results.  Very happy wit my showing today.

After classes, I had an extra tennis session.  Again, very humid in the gym and I was sweating hard.  The practice was good, but I felt just off a bit today, unable to find a rhythm. As my stroke started to get some consistency, my partner calls for a break, so we take a break.  After the break, we played a set.  Practice is supposed to help you make things like strokes and such, second nature... natural.  But when we started to play the set, my partner totally changed up his style and returned everything like a bloop shot.  I was a bit taken a back and a little upset because that is not what we were practicing.  So, I was whiffing balls out and netting them.  So different from how we were hitting before.  I don't want to play conservative in matches, so I hit out and I messed up.  So, I lost. Thankfully not a bagel, but I'm itching to play again now that I know what will come and I'm mentally prepared.  But that not withstanding, I had a good session and I exhausted myself... in a good way.  I love double days.

In the end, I torched 750+kcals in the morning, and 1500+kcals in the evening.  Nice big burn today.
