Schedule

Pickleball class this morning was very good, I seem to always need to repeat the basics.  Mary invited me  to move to the advanced class on Fridays, I would like to do that, then I could play with a group that plays every Monday the same time as my class, I would not like to do that because...skills.  I know I should make the change to get better.

1st Tournament

 Today went way better than I expected, I was definitely outside my comfort zone but had a great time.  The four ladies I got paired with for rotating doubles were great fun, and can I just say, "Never underestimate a Margaret." I won two and lost two, for me that's a win.  Mixed doubles didn't happen until noon and it was well over 100 degrees so not as fun. We played six games, the winning stats were not so great but we did win some and had double digit points in the ones we did lose.

Chair

 I bought a new chair--yeah that's a pickleball thing.  Not nervous about tomorrow, no, nope, nah...

Today and Yesterday

 Is last minute practice helpful?  My brain kept trying to remind me how to hit the ball and I would miss, I gotta trust the muscle memory and not think, when I don't think I play better.

Rhyme or Reason

 Decided not to go to CrossFit and work on my pickleball a little light of the fastly approaching tournament on Sunday.  My play this morning was stellar!  If I play like this on Sunday I will do OK ish, unfortunately there seems to be no rhyme or reason to why I have a great pickleball day and a day when I can't even get my serve in or return a dink.  Who knows what will happen on Sunday.

Angie

 100 Jumping Pull-ups

100 Box Push-ups

100 Sit ups

100 Air Squats

Air squats were not as deep as they should have been, my perpetual problem.  Time: 25:26

October Pickleball

 Off to a good start with a new class.

Choices

 This morning:

Walk or

CrossFit (row and run, who needs that? Oh yeah, probably me)

Pickleball--what would you do?  Me too! Pickleball it was, and I can't say my play was stellar, I was really struggling this morning but it was fun.  This weekend is the first annual St George Weekend Family Pickleball Tournament, ok I just made that up and they don't know about it yet, but I told them all to bring their paddles.  I'm putting myself in the play Brian and Kyle bracket after they run the marathon.  It probably won't help.  My today project is to put together a grab bag of prizes for the grandkids every time they score on Mimi. Super grand prize if they can score on Papa.

Front Squats

 Front squats 3-3-3-3-3 took my weight down a little for the last two sets. Mostly just posting to say yeah I was there.
