Last night, I subbed in again for a match for our combo team. My partner, Julie, and I won 6-2, 6-0. Despite the league being 6.5 combo, we played two 3.0 women, and one of them was very inexperienced. They really didn't have a chance. Julie and I practiced coming in to the net, which was good. I served the last game, and we were ahead 15-0. During that point, I pulled my left calf muscle a bit. This is something I've done in both legs, but many years ago. It wasn't awful, but I really didn't want to play much more. At 30-0, I served to get an error on the return, so it became 40-0. I was serving to the weak player, so I figured if I didn't get an error on the return, I'd just hit until she did make an error. And that was pretty much how it went...I hardly moved, but just hit several cross-court shots until she hit it out. Then I limped to the bench and took a bunch of ibuprofen. Julie got me some ice, and I iced my calf until the other matches finished. Our team won one of the other courts, so we won the match overall.
This morning, my calf is feeling a bit better. I'd wrapped it up last night before bed. I'm still taking ibuprofen regularly. I did P90X2 Balance + Power today, skipping any jumping or balancing on the left leg. I burned about 170 calories.
