So Danielle, I hope this makes your Friday - you sounded a little down last night on the machine, so I figured I would update and make your morning a little shinier.
So lets start with a funny little bet I am involved in. Last night I went out with my parents to Il Fornello for dinner and of course my dad begins bitching about how he can't lose weight and whatever. So I start telling him that he needs to switch his workouts up, the importance of interval training, etc. Then he pipes in saying that since he is the only one at the table trying to lose weight we shouldn't be trying at all. Well, that sounds like the beginning of a challenge in my books, so I shot back betting him that I could lose more weight than him over the next week. So how did it all end you may ask, well lets just say let the games begin!!!!!
Hmmm what else....
Well, I have been in super tennis mode for the past few days, and yesterday was no exception. There were some fantastic matches. Federer was playing Llodra and was actually down 4 love in the first set, but managed to come back to win in straight sets, 7-6, 6-3. It was pretty intense. I mean this Llodra guy was all over the net like a wet cat, throwing off the usually impecable form of the greatest tennis player EVER! But soon enough RFed totally found his groove and kicked some bad ass. But I worry... Today Federer plays Berdych. He has beaten Federer in their last 2 encounters, including Wimbleton!!! We'll have to see how things go - I am totally nervous but excited at the same time. What I really wish is that I had tickets for tomorrow :(
I was out playing tennis sort-of yesterday, just like you predicted. I went over to Pleasantville and attacked the wall with the tennis ball for a little bit. Twas cathartic and fun. Instead of taking Neighbourly home I took Mill to Trench and then along Major Mac. While on Major Mac I detoured into the park beside the hospital to see what they had done to the place (there is now a concrete path from Major Mac). I went through the forest on my bike and let me tell you how much fun I had...I was amazing. It kinda reminded me of Laos, only smaller. I feel like I want to find more forested areas and bike through them!!
outdoors,
health,
tennis
