Too much is a bad thing
After yesterday's tennis marathon I woke up this morning feeling like everything was going to be ok. Boy was I wrong once I got to tennis. First we had an hour of fitness testing. Felt fine while doing all the tests but once actual tennis came around I thought my arm was going to fall off. For most of the day I couldn't feel it especially while serving. (Now I know how Isner and Mahut felt during their 3 day tennis match last year at Wimbledon.) But I managed to play pretty well today. I even served really well for not having a full functioning arm. Surprising. But there is hope for tomorrow. Just when to my deep muscle/chiropractor which hurt like hell and I bawled my eyes out. But tomorrow I should be feeling better and the day after that I should be feeling like a million bucks. Just in time for the tournament.

Long days ahead
Howdy ho! Just letting you all know that I'm in a tournament this weekend which is a little scary seeing I am just coming off of a 2 week break of not doing a single thing. :/ But oh well. I am actually hitting really well for such a long break off. (Before my 1st practice I got there early and hit on the the wall for a few minutes just to make sure I could make contact with the ball. Was stressing out the night before. Wasn't a good feeling.) And turns out that today I played tennis for a total of 6 hours. 2.5 hours of drilling in the morning then 3.5 hours of playing sets. And some where in between was an hour of lifting. So right now I'm a little tired. I thought towards the end my arm from shoulder down was going to come off as I hit a serve. That would have been a pretty site. ha. But right now the USTA is hosting a couple of college players for a mini camp...it's weird how last year that was me. But I got to hit with them, so it made me feel like I was back in school again (but I don't miss it). Anyway so that was what was happening today. Tomorrow and the rest of the week should be about the same. I believe it is 4 hours of tennis and an hour of fitness so I should have plenty of practice before this tournament :) Hopefully I'm not too tired...

Ok, so my blog is now back after many complaints I've heard from people who want it back. So to those who complained here you go. Now at this current moment I don't have any exciting or important news so I'm not going to write anything besides this little note here. So without further ado Happy New Year to you all and welcome back. Make 2011 the best year yet!
