Have been playing tennis once or twice a week since I hooked up with a tennis team here in Albuquerque. It was a surprisingly easy task to find a team! I gave my name to the head guy at Jerry Cline Tennis Center (about a mile from my house) and the next day, Romela (captain of a 4.0 and 4.5 team) called and invited me out to practice and then join the team! The courts (all outdoors and lit) are beautiful and it is cheap cheap cheap! So far, the players I have been on the court with are great 4.0 players and I hear that there are about 10 4.0 teams! Wow!
In other exercise focused news, you likely recall Kate's blog posts on the topic of
Crossfit whilst she resided in Montana. Well... Dave and I have also joined in on the fun! The facility here is excellent, trainers are awesome, and most of the time I am able to walk and life my arms the next day! On the day of my "fitness evaluation" - in between sets I asked my trainer (who is a member of the female world rugby team) - "Can I get a drink of water?" She looked me in the eye, with no malice at all just totally matter-of-fact, and said "no".
