8-16-17 (Wednesday) HY: Tennis + Arm Shaper + TCF + Med-Ball Toss.

Today was an EXTREMELY LAZY day!!!  It was just sort of an organic type of lazy.  I got up, had breakfast, did some things around the house, but once I sat on the couch to relax, I pretty much stayed there for most of the day.  Of course getting up for a drink or for other things, but doing video editing, playing some games, watching some TV, etc. I was planted on the couch until it was time to start getting ready for tennis.

Today was hot, but by the time our reservation rolled around, it had started to get... warm and even a little cool with a breeze (that later turned into an all out thunder storm past midnight.)  But tonight's tennis turned into a great session.  After shaking off my initial stiffness from the day's inactivity, I was moving well, seeing the ball well, and stroking the ball extremely well.  We had several good rallies.  We didn't drill anything like last night because we were having such a good time pounding the ball back and forth.  It turned into another "Knock-Down Drag Out Slug Fest!"  Then, at the two hour point, I started playing with my wife.  The cooler temperatures really did wonders for her energy and power.  We too, were able to maintain some really good rallies and she was also stroking the ball very well.   It was another great day of tennis.  Looking forward to tomorrow's tennis.

When I got home, I check to see if the next task for the Arm Shaper group was up, and it wasn't.  But I wanted to do something today, so I did Weighted Arm Circles, 50 reps both ways, 50 Push-Ups, and then as a topper, two sets of 30 reps of Triceps Dips.  Man! Did that ever burn.  And I was happy because I could feel the pump and the intense burn.

As I started to write this, my daughter wanted to play catch... with my 5kg Medicine Ball.  So I stopped writing after the first sentence and played catch with my daughter for about 20 minutes before a late dinner.  That game also pumped me up a bit because I was trying to catch her throws with one hand and throw with one hand, then we did different styles of catching and throwing.  Fun and a good workout.

Then, after all was said and done for the day, I did a nice series of Flows to prepare me for sleep.

In the end, I torched another 1500+kcals.  Only a couple more days for Tennis conditioning.  And then the tournament.  We hope to get at least second in our Round-Robin group to move on to the main draw.  Fingers Crossed!!!
