Back to Squash – The pain game….

Yesterday was the 1st time since we’ve arrived that I did some excercise. Went to a gyn close-by and decided to play squash with the gentleman that’s in charge of our IT support. I mean, I’ve been meaning to play but hadn’t found anybody suitable to beat and he seemed like a fair candidate as he’s about 10 years my senior.

Well how wrong was I? Just because he was 10 years older it only meant that he had 10 years more experience and was 10 times better than me. I haven’t had a wooping like that for a while and I feel so in my place. Don’t get me wrong it was a good game, but I think my fitness let me down and I’m definately gonna have to work on that.

Needless to say the pain after the game was quite intense (I mean throughout the game it was bad but at least there was some adrenalin running!) and as I walked / limped slowly towards the superwarket where liz was I realised that I really should start doing sports more often. Next week we’re planning to play again, and after Revive twice a week. I’ll see how I feel after next week before commiting myself to a long term life of “limping after squash”

Shorter news: Rosemary (Liz’s Bridesmaid from NYC) arrives tomorrow for a long weekend. We’ve now officialy booked for Revive and should be getting there sometime on Saturday(I’m looking forward to a break). Tonight is worship practice, time to teach news songs.

Hasta pronto, Mike
