First I hit the free weight room and did 50 reps of thrusters and squats. Those thrusters really made me aware that I had not lifted weights in a week and how I felt this morning when I finally got up at 11am EST only cemented that fact in my head.  I also did some pullups, dips and cleans but didn’t really keep track of them.

After the weight room I walked up to watch pops play some handball with the other senior league members… HAHA, Just kidding Dad.  Kinda…

They needed some youth, speed, strength and agility so naturally they looked out to me and asked me to come play a few games.  I thought about showing them up and then decided I did not wish to steal my fathers thunder since this was his home group game.  I decided to play as if I had never played before, because I have never played before.  I made sure to keep their mental toughness and egos strong by completely missing shots, falling on the ground, hitting the ball to the opposite court and knocking into other players for no reason.  I am happy to report that I fully succeeded in making them feel wonderful about their ripe ages.  In all seriousness, I had a great time.  I think I played pretty well for someone who has never played a game in his life and it made me want to play more.  My hands were so red and hurt that at times in the game I didn’t think I could hit another shot.  Tons of fun and I will play with them every time I come back to visit.

Great overall workout and even though I am sore this morning I feel healthy and great.
