Last night I lost my 3.5 match. Grace and I played a strong match on #2 doubles. We won the first set 6-4. One of our opponents was much weaker than the other, so we concentrated on hitting to her. We lost the second set 6-2. We let some lobs drop in for overheads, and they did make fewer unforced errors. The match tiebreaker was very close - we were tied up 8-8, but then lost 10-8. It was a lot of fun, though, because it was a challenging match but not overwhelming. Unfortunately we lost all of the other courts, too, except #1 singles.
Today there is a big snowstorm, so the university is closed. This morning I did my scheduled workout: P90X+ Kenpo Cardio+. I don't do the warm up on the video for this workout; they do minimal warming up and then do some yoga stretches. That doesn't work at all for me. I need to be a lot warmer before I get started. So I do my own warm up exercises (jogging in place, fake jump roping, jumping jacks, butt kicks, and high knees) and then I do some ballistic stretching of my hamstrings. Then I get into the official workout. This also saves me 90 - 120 seconds in the workout. Today I burned 289 calories. I felt like I had quite a bit of energy to do it. Afterward, I used the extra time because it's a snow day to do some foam rolling on my legs.
Because of the snow storm, I won't be able to do my usual tennis doubles tonight. I will probably do a run instead. Plus some show shoveling sometime today once the snow tapers off.
