Relegated!

Yesterday, I started tennis again. Tennis is probably the only sport that I LOVE playing. I started when I was 13. I wast taking serious lessons by the time I was 14 and made the high school team. I spent my summers playing every day and went to tennis camps.

After high school, I completely dropped it and lost a lot of technique and gained a lot of weight. So it is just difficult to make shots that you can't run to and I wasn't practicing.

When I moved to Australia, I started lessons again. I am not very talented but I can hit on a court with some confidence. So I was excited when I called last week to start playing again. It is just a fun way to burn calories. I show up on the court and after hitting for a few minutes, the coach sends me back to the BEGINNERS lesson to "brush up on fundamentals!" It is a good thing I don't have a lot of sports ego because that was pretty harsh!

Next week I'll wear my tennis skirt. I am sure I'll be back to intermediates.
