Day 10: Que milagro!


Unrelated to tennis but important nonetheless: I am relieved to report that my home away from home, a little town in southern Baja, narrowly escaped a direct hit from Hurricane Jimena. I have been preoccupied worrying if the town would get totally pummeled but hoping for the best. Luckily, after making landfall, Jimena downgraded from a category 5 to a 3 and changed course. The town mainly received a lot of rain and some high winds, between 50-60 mph, overnight. Even with all the rain there was no flooding. Overall there was little if any damage. And of course, there were some huge waves, so I bet the surfing was great.

Well, today was certainly action packed! I played 2 matches, had my 1st USTA Singles practice class along with an hour lesson. By the end of day I’d spent about 5 ½ hours playing tennis. How awesome is that?

Tomorrow will be another tennis-filled day. I have 3 matches as well as my first practice for my cup team and a lesson. That ends up being about 7 hours of court time. It will be interesting to see if I have the stamina to be walking by the end of tomorrow. Considering my first match is at 7:30am (I know, what was I thinking?) I better get some rest, though not before I take a few Aleve for my barking dogs. :-)
