10-16-16 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.

I went to bed late last night and woke up late and feeling okay, until I got up and started walking around.  Upper body soreness in my arms and shoulders.  Lower body soreness in the quads and hamstrings.  Basically all over.  But it was a pretty lazy day.  I did watch the Cubs win game 1 of the NLCS!  WOW!!! What a game!  Then I watched a few episodes of Friends with my wife as we both just vegged out in the living room.  Around noon I started to think about what I should do for my workout.  I just didn't feel like doing anything.  I had to run some errands with my wife in town so we left around mid afternoon and we came back home around late afternoon just as dusk was setting it.  As we were driving home and I was thinking about starting my workout when we got home, my wife asked if I wanted to play tennis.  I jumped on that like (snap) THAT!  YES for TENNIS!!  Actually, my wife has been taking tennis lessons through the city and the cycle was completed last week, so she wanted to play.  Earlier in the day when we were talking, I recommended that she play when she could so she wouldn't forget what she learned.  So, we went to play tennis.

No game, but she was a lot better.  Forehand was a lot more consistent, the form on her serve was way more tightened up, but her backhand still needs work.  But playing with her is good practice for me in control.  Also, since she doesn't have a lot of control yet, her balls go all over and I have to run everything down.  That is what makes tennis with my wife such a good workout.  But this time, since she had improved, we were able to keep the rallies going a lot longer so I had to run a lot more.  Got a great workout.

When I got home, instead of going straight to the shower, I went and did my Splits and Flow.  All on point.  Pushing lower was painful, but it was good.

In the end, I torched a solid 1045kcal.  Good cardio workout today in the way I like it, outdoor sports!
