Day 9

Joe and I have been talking about playing tennis for a while now. Neither of us has picked up a racket in probably 10 years so we knew we would get a pretty good workout from chasing balls around. We stopped by Sports Authority and picked up some inexpensive rackets and balls and hit the courts in Congress Park. 

It was so much fun. It brought back many good memories for me from my high school years where I took tennis lessons for a number of summers. I quickly remembered how to hold the racket properly and my serve came back to me. (It wasn't that good back then either.)  If it weren't for the heat, we could have hit the ball around for a while, but alas we only got 45 minutes in before we ran out of water and the heat won. We look forward to many more tennis sessions, especially as the summer nears an end and fall comes back. 

Once home, I took a little nap and then completed my full body strength for the day. I'm feeling pretty good! Oh, and while at the sporting goods store, I picked up an awesome water bottle for my 5k training. I'll show a picture tomorrow. Off to make dinner now!
