Muscle pain

So I did manage to play a little tennis yesterday. I was supposed to play with my dad before his friends got there but when we arrived at the courts, Vladimir was already waiting, his friend arrived soon after us and Abe got there pretty quickly too, so I just warmed up a little and missed about 95% of the balls I hit, lol.

I watched my dad play a doubles match with Abe against the two other guys, and they could have won... but they lost the first set 7-5 and then won the second one 6-3.
I had hoped to ask my dad to play with me after, but he was dead tired but Abe saved the day and hit some with me, and this time I was better and managed to keep a few rallies going. We could have stayed longer but the sun was starting to get pretty killer and I'm supposed to keep off it with my face and all.

It's amazing how tired I got so quickly. When I was training for real, like when I was 15... I would spend my summers training and get to the club around 8 because my dad dropped me there before work, and leave around 7pm when he got out. I'd get there before anyone and leave after everyone was gone.
We had training all morning and all afternoon and then we did physical training, like jogging, speed exercises, agility stuff and stuff like sit ups and push ups. And then my mom wonders where all my extra weight is coming from, lol.
Once I got into college it got harder to make the time for it, but I actually made some money by giving lessons to little kids, which was actually a lot of fun.

Yesterday I played after not having played over a year and my body is showing it. My arm hurts, my back hurts, and my butt hurts, lol. If the weather's nice for a while longer I'm gonna try to play more with my dad and all, playing after school even if I'm beat.



P.S.: I love you, Mike but I will not put something so pink on my blog. I'll stick with the banner Illara made, lol.
