November 14, Wednesday - Tennis + Chin-Up Challenge + Pickle-Ball.

November 14, Wednesday - Tennis + Chin-Up Challenge + Pickle-Ball.

Today was night tennis.  It was a particularly good session in terms of play-time because the number of people that attended was much smaller than usual.  So we got a lot of on-court drill time.  Almost no waiting time so I was really pushing to keep it going.  I was called to play a match to practice the teams playing in the next tournament.  We were playing fine, but the other team was just playing better and we lost 1-4.  The only game we won was my service game in the second game.  We had our opportunities, but for several points, lady luck was on the other team's side. 

When I got home, I was feeling rather tired, but I pumped out the required number of Chin-Ups then took a shower.  When I got out of the shower I relaxed and then my daughter came down for her study break and wanted to play Pickle-Ball.  Long ago, I promised myself to never say no to my kids if they wanted to play with me (unless I was sick or something like that) so even though I was tired, I said yes, and we played for almost an hour.  I also got sweaty again.  But it was great fun, so I was glad I played.

For the tennis, I burned 1699 kcals.  A good but high burn which tells me I'm still at an unfit level.  I can feel it.  I'm getting too winded too quickly.  I need to get back some endurance and stamina.
