Well, today was a treat!
I got permission to use the gym at the main campus of my school so I took my family to play Pickle-Ball for the first time. A quick run-through of the rules, and then we started to rally. Everyone has experience with tennis and other racket sports so they picked it up very quickly. So it was just a matter of getting used to the bounce of the ball and finding the range in the court. We just rallied around for about 30 minutes, my daughter and I on one side, and my wife and son on the other. Then we actually started to play but the kids wanted to team up so it was the Oldies vs. Young'uns. It was actually quite competitive for all the games we played. It was a lot of fun. My wife even said that she liked Pickle-Ball more than tennis because she had more time to judge the balls bounce so she could hit the ball better. The Young'uns took the first game, 11-7. But the Oldies took the second game 11-6. Our time was up, but we had to get in a tie-breaker, so we played a 5-point tie breaker which the Oldies took 5-3. It was such a fun time. I hope we get to do it again, soon!
In the end, I torched 1025kcals. It felt good to be active on court again. I haven't played Pickle-Ball in about a month or more. I also was VERY happy to to break one thousand kcals burned. It has been a while. Soon after, the soreness started to set in, so I foam rolled for a very long time.
