Slicing Air

Today my workout partner and I decided to treat ourselves and do something fun – we played racquetball. Or I should say we tried to play racquetball. I have never played before but I was excited to try. It was fun but I am not sure how much of a work out we got. First of neither of us were sure of the rules. Second of all we couldn’t keep the ball moving, it would seem to stall in a corner. When we did get the ball moving, we were sort of afraid of it because it comes at you fast. Then there were times when I was just slicing the air with my racquet. My hand to eye coordination is not the greatest. I know I had to look pretty damn silly! SO needless to say we sucked. But it we had fun and hey, we tried. We did work up a sweat and our bellies hurt because we were laughing so hard at our ineptitude. It was exhausting - I need to be in better shape. I would like to try again but I will need to look over the rules.

I did miss working out with the weights. We didn’t do that today because we were short on time. I felt a little guilty but I am sure I will get over it.

Who knew racquetball was so complicated? I looked up the rules of racquetball and boy are they confusing! I don't think I am up for all that mess. When we try again I guess we could just work on keeping the ball moving and not being afraid of it.
