"And the elephants are dancing...
...on the graves of squealing mice."
So, after watching the awful MTV series "Fat Camp," I decided, "Wow, I don't want to be like those people," and decided to start working out. So I did Pilates 2 days ago. This was a good idea--roommate and I were going to do Pilates every day at the beginning of the semester. This lasted...a day. But I popped it in the DVD player and had at it. Good for me. But that was just the beginning.
I decided to be ambitios and play tennis with my friend Cy yesterday. Well, play is the opperative word, we really just hit the ball back and forth for an hour until I had managed to hit 3 out of the court and he 1. I appreciate Cy and his patience towards my lack of ball control--he lets me get away with quite a bit while we play. Despite my inability to play well, I love tennis, and greatly improved my backhand in that time. This was all fine and good until this morning.
I am finding it hard to move. I have muscles that are hurting and I didn't even know they could hurt! Still, I can't wait to play again, and am taking appointments for those who wish to join me on the courts.
MTRR that I forgot how much I enjoy nice weather and the ability to play outside, despite the repercussions!
"Anyone for tennis? Oh, wouldn't that be nice!?" it's an eric clapton song!

I tried Pilates a few times last year. I'm not coordinated enough for that. I went walking last night though!

I hear ya on the sore thing. I almost did a header down the stairs this morning because my legs hurt so much from catching* last night.
*I'm an infielder, not a catcher. People should know that by now.
At least we can be pathetic together! maybe if we had done Pilates for flexibility... *ponders*
*decides it wouldn't have helped*
You sound like you have the same level of tennis-playing skills that I have...had? It's been years, but I have way more fun just hitting it back and forth. In high school, our rule was "if it's still bouncing, it's still in play." We didn't keep score.
Beth, that is pretty much my favorite way to play! And those lines on the court are just decoration and are in no way affiliated with boundaries!
