I'm still stuffed.
Last night my doubles partner from my outdoor team, Megan (she's the ex-helicopter pilot) invited me and some other gals over to her home for dinner. We ate, and ate, and ate, and ate...there was an enormous amount of food. And it was all excellent, so you kind of wanted to try a bit of everything. Including the wine. I think I had three glasses, and I was definitely feeling it as we somehow ended up singing karoake to 'Like a Virgin' before the night was out. Yes, must have been the wine.
I spent most of the day before I left...sleeping. Again, I hit the weekend, and I was just zonked out. Friday was busier than normal so maybe that contributed to it. After school I took a yoga class, then dropped by happy hour, then played a match (lost in a tiebreak), then went out for another drink. Hunh...lots of drinking happpening in there. Anyway, I didn't get a run in, which isn't disasterous, but still...shoulda woulda coulda.
This morning I had to get up before dawn to go to an 8am mixed match. WTF? I've *never* had a USTA match scheduled at 8am before! It was a mixed match, so of course, we lost. Again, I was better than my guy partner, who just wanted to hit the shit out of everything. That ALWAYS translates into lots of mistakes. I don't know why these guys don't get that, and won't change it.
So, one week until race day. I'm actually looking forward to it, I think it will be fun!
