Tennis Sunday! PLUS!!!

November 11, 2018, Sunday - Tennis + Chin-Up Challenge + Koosh Speed Catch and then Pickle-Ball.

Today was another beautiful day for tennis!  The sun was out and the temperature was cool so there was a good balance.  The day started out a little frustrating because for some reason, my timing was way off and I was not finding a good contact point.  I was getting a lot of irregular bounces and I just couldn't find my groove.  When I started volleying, I was either framing the shots or not getting good contact.  It took a few round before I started to get into a rhythm.  My serves were okay during practice drills.  But like last week, the matches are where I was able to do my best work.  Today, unlike last Sunday, I won all my matches, but lost the last two service games in my last two matches.  But the last game I lost was inconsequential because we had already won the match and were playing out the time.  The thing I was most happy about today is the fact that I was able to stay mentally strong on my serve when I was down in the score.  Twice I was down 15-40 but came back with three straight points to take the game.  And a good number of those points were service winners.  The two games that I lost were also on deciding points.  It was a good day.  I had a lot of fun on court.

When I got home, I did the required number of Chin-Ups for the Chin-Up Challenge.  Today, I knocked out 11 straight reps.

In the evening, when my daughter took her break from studying, we play Koosh Speed Catch and then Pickle-Ball.  It was a TON of fun but unfortunately I worked up a sweat.  But I'd do it again.  I love playing with my daughter.  We played for just under an hour.

The calorie burn count for the tennis was 2346 kcals.
