Pauline and I purchased some tennis racquets around 1999-2000.
The plan was to use them.. for a bit of fun and exercise. Somehow that never happened... We seemed to get too busy doing everything else around us and quickly forgot about the racquets.
I don't know why we did... we paid a fortune for them! (We bought
Wilson tennis racquets -- probably more money then sense... though they are damn good racquets, that are very powerful and extremely light).
After all these years... we decided to face the music, pull them out... remember what they looked like and go for a hit.
We've got a tenis court within walking distance from home so we went down to play.
Actually I was suprised at how good the court surface was.. it was that green rubbery surface (rebound ace? *shrugs*).
Well we had fun; ran around like idiots for an hour or so hitting tennis balls left, right, up and down and occassionally even over the net!
We played a mini set after about 30 minutes... though finished early... Pauline's shoes were pretty inappropriate for the tennis... but she was up 3:1.
We had a ball (sic), and will look at playing again this week. It's a good cardo workout and I'm sure we have as much a workout laughing as we do playing!
