4-23-17 Tennis.

Same schedule as last week.  Today was a beautiful day.  First day in several that we actually had the sun out and the temperature was getting into the warm range.  My wife and I went out to do some errands and shopping.  We wanted to play tennis in the morning or afternoon, but when we called to check on court availability, nothing was open until the evening.  So, we played in the evening.  It was a lot cooler than I had expected, so I wanted to get moving right away and keep moving.  I tried to keep the ball in the hitting zone so we could extend the rallies.  It worked and my wife was able to extend several rallies past the average 4-and-done.  The longest rally lasted as long as 20 strokes which is huge for her level, that is huge for any level.  I'm trying to get her to practice her control so that she knows where she is hitting the ball, and eventually to hit the ball where she wants to hit it.  But she kept me on my feet and I was running hard all evening.  I worked up a good sweat as well, so after the session, I had to wrap myself in a towel to keep warm.  I also had to line the driver's seat with towels to keep it from soaking up my sweat.

In the end, I torched around 830kcals.  Good start to my workout week.
