March 13, Tennis day.

March 13, 2019, Wednesday - Tennis.

Today was the first time in about a month that we were able to play on the hard courts at the public park.  I was looking forward to this because I would much rather play on hard courts than that fake turf.  But where ever is fine if I can play.  Today was beautiful.  The sun was out and it was quite warm.  However, as it got darker it got chilly.  And I was dressed for warmer temps than what it actually was.  On top of that, there was a huge show of members tonight so there was going to be a lot of waiting time. And on top of that, my legs were still barking like crazy from Leg Day on Monday.  I was half expecting my mobility to be hampered.  I should have been fully expecting that because it was.  I wasn't moving my feet, I was slow to get a jump and I was like an injured hippo lumbering back and forth on court... at first.  Then there was my serve.  During the Serve and Return drill, My first few turns were just terrible.  Out of almost 20 serves, I think I got only 2 or 3 in.  Most of the time the ball was going into the net.  For some reason the net look high and far.  I just couldn't get the ball over the net.  It was terrible.

But as the night wore on, I started to warm up and I started to hit the ball a little better and I started to move a little smoother.  Overall, though, tonight's practice was a grinder evening.  One of those nights that I have to go through to get to the good sessions.

In the end, I burned a below average 1241 kcals.  I'm going to have to make up for this disaster on Sunday.  No Rain Please!!!
