I realize as I try to formulate sentences for this blog entry that my brain is quickly turning to mush. So please easy on the judgement if any of this fails to make sense. Plus for some reason -- I find this mixed doubles picture hilarious. From the back, the guy looks like Will Ferrell -- who, at times, I also find pretty hilarious. (BTW, have you seen his The Landlord video at http://www.funnyordie.com/ ? It's comedy gold. Well, that's a stretch. But it's pretty funny. Hey, cut me some slack. I'm tired.)
Today was a marathon day of tennis for me. I just got back home an hour ago from my final match which began at 9pm. I had the absolute best time this evening. My 5pm match was challenging -- the women are strong players with lots of drills and practices under their belts so I have some catching up to do there. But that's a good thing. You have to lose some to win some. Or something like that.
The highlight of the night was FC’s Rotating Mixed Doubles. I could never understand what all mixed-doubles fuss was about but I 100% get it now. Playing w/guys offers a great change of pace. So far all the men have been super nice – and like I said in an earlier post, they are quick and hit the ball freakin’ hard, which I love. Even if I can't always return it. The time just flies by and it leaves you wanting more.
Oh, and just one more thing. First, let me qualify this by saying I find braggers completely annoying. However, I just have to share that I was so on fire tonight. I have no idea what got into me – but whatever it was, I’ll take the entire case. IT WAS SO FUN.
Ok -- yada-yada-yada. You get the idea.
In closing, a great start to the week! 4 matches played = 6 hours of court time. Yes, it is true that in an effort not to overdo it, the plan was to moderate court-time. However, Monday’s tennis offerings are too good to pass up. So, in my defense, I compensated for today’s overage by scheduling only 1 match later in the day tomorrow, allowing for me to take it easy up until my 1:15pm lesson. I think that sounds like a good plan.
Not sure I’ll be able to walk tomorrow, but even so, it was so worth it.
