Sunday, May 6, 2018 (Court Day #148)
Sitting early this morning, my back was sore and stiff. It reminds me of when I first started playing pickleball and my back was regularly fatigued. But this is the residual from the pulled muscle in my back from 4 weeks ago.
I pulled up at Derby Park at 8:45 a.m. and Mark (Maree’s husband) was already there. I hadn’t seen Mark for at least a month. I realized that in my haste to get to Derby before John P.—John texted me and said he’d be there by 8:45—I had, for a second time, forgotten the battery for the blower. I unlocked the storage boxes for Mark and he got about to setting up the nets while I headed back home to pick up the battery. *sigh* I was back at 9 a.m.
Lauren, Robin, Terri, new guy, Ray, George, Cameron, Marianne, Olga, and a man’s back.
I played a little better today. In one game, Rob and I played against James (back after not playing much lately he said) and Oleg. Amazingly, late in the game, Rob and I were ahead by two points. In the end, we lost 11-9. Still, considering the skill were against, that was completely unexpected. We switched sides and had a rematch, this time we lost 11-1 or something—very lopsided!
My drop shot did make a return appearance. That’s good news!
Oleg, Olga and I went to Mexican food after pickleball. We got there about 1 p.m. Nothing really of note there other than Oleg volunteered that I’ve improved my play a lot. Nice to hear.
