I'm alive

I feel surprisingly good this morning.

After not having played squash for over 5 years I stepped onto the court last night and blasted away for an hour.

I expected to be very sore and walking like a very old man today. After we played I did feel a few twinges but I’ve woken up feeling pretty good. There are a few muscles that feel a little different but no great soreness. Pauline says I should wait until tonight for the final verdict on how well I’ve pulled up.

As for the contest itself, I was playing against Mic. I’d never met Mic before but he hadn’t been on the court for a while either. We both managed to huff and puff, work up a sweat and run around a fair bit. I don’t know yet how Mic’s feeling this morning.

We had a few close games and a few walk overs. Mic took the honours with 6 wins over my 3. I was just happy to get a win at all. Winning is a wonderful incentive but what I really wanted was to be run around the court a lot and we seemed to achieve that. Mind you, next week I intend evening up the scores a bit.
