6-19-17 (Monday) HY: Foam Rolling + TCF + Tennis.

Today is the second time for me to not be lazy in the morning. Or more specifically, a Monday morning.  I had a shake for breakfast and then did a long foam rolling session.  I was following P90X2's Mobility and Recovery DVD.  I just didn't do the whole routine.  Instead, I did the little yoga warm up, skipped the mobility moves, then went straight to the foam rolling.  But I doubled the leg time and the upper body time. So that is over 30 minutes, then I did the stretching moves at the end of the routine.  Then I did my Flow.

In the afternoon after class, I went to tennis.  Last week was awesome! Today was... NOT!  I was 3-2 on my service games, I hit at least one double fault in each service game, 2+ in the games I lost.  My service returns were either in the net or missed the racket sweet spot by a mile.  ZERO poaches and Zero aces.  I did have several service winners, but still.  I didn't put away at least 5 shots that I should have put away... The list goes on.  Finally, I lost both sets I played, 3-6, 5-6.  Close, but my partner and I were both just not feeling it tonight.  There were several "FLASHES" of brilliance, but nothing sustained.  Too many let downs after awesome shots.  All of that trash notwithstanding, it was fun.  But it would have been even more fun if we had won at least one set.  One possible reason/excuse is that a few minutes into getting to the gym, I noticed my back started to hurt.  I just felt like I wrenched it without doing anything that would actually wrench it.  Usually, I know what I did that triggered the pain, but this time, I was fine all day, then, it was.  I think I was babying it all night.  But I didn't say anything to the other players.  Then, there was the dead heat.  The gym was like a sauna.  But we all had to play in it so that was on me.  Next week, unfortunately, no tennis on Monday.  So I'll have to find another time to play.  But since rain is in the forecast, I probably won't be able to play with my wife because we can only play on outside courts.  Hmm, how can I get in some tennis next week?

In the end, I torched 1369kcals.  Burning it up on the court!
