Return to Tennis


my attempt in May

I hit the ball a few times while on vacation in Florida but last night was my first time playing doubles since December.

I couldn’t move well but I could move.  I wrapped my ankle for psychological reasons and it didn’t hurt or swell any more than usual.

I have a lot of work to do to get back into being competitive shape. But I was able to play!!! That’s what counts now. (I hope to play 1-2x  per week indoors starting in Sept.)

I played with 3 different partners…all very understanding. (The scores were 0-6, 4-6, 4-6, my first set was with the weakest player.)

I am glad to be out there playing again…cross-training has been lacking in my routine. And some of my closest friends are those I see playing tennis.

Next up…YOGA??

Happy Running!  Do you do any other sport besides running?

  1. I agree with Melissa, you have come a very long way from such a serious injury. I admire your determination to get back to your normal activities. In addition to running, I also do some yoga. It is so great for flexibility as you age. Plus, it is such a calming way to end a busy day. It’s a great balance for running.
