December 5, Wednesday. Tennis.
Today we had practice at the indoor courts. Before leaving home for the courts, I thought it would be colder than it was. So it was actually pretty warm, so I got a good sweat on. Today was rainy so it was good that we had it at the indoor courts again. But the surprising thing is that there were a lot of people who came. Luckily, they came mostly late, so I was able to get a good warm up in with a good player. After that, the people started coming and the court time was at a premium. So I made the best of my court time and really tried to be consistent and extend my rallies. It must have worked because the burn was evident. One big thing that made it extra tough was the fact that my arms, especially my biceps were so sore from the workout yesterday. I was shocked at how much my biceps were aching. In the past, after a biceps workout, I never really felt as sore as I did today. I would feel the pump and burn during and a little after, but never this intense the following day. But the big question is how I'll feel tomorrow. As I get older, the soreness from a good workout has typically been the worst on the second day after the workout.
But either way, today was a good tennis day. I was able to feel solid and I was stroking the ball well. That is always a plus!
When I got home, I did the Quad-Challenge and hammered it out.
In the end, I burned 1620 kcals. A good night's burn on any night.
