Woke up aching everywhere especially the shoulder muscles and shoulder blades. Looks like I have overdone it again ie. practiced too hard yesterday. I went on the ball machine for 1.5 hours with Emily and then, after she left, I practised a whole basket full of balls (at least 300 balls) on my new serve technique. It was exhausting by the time I was through and my arm felt like dropping off. Well, I paid the price today. When I try to lift my arm, it felt like a million ton. In the evening, was coaxed by Al to go practice with the 7.0 team. Even though I was hurting, I didn't want to disappoint the team by being unsporting so, I went. Arranged with Ed to fetch Sam from bowling practice and I left for CSF at 5.36pm and arrived at 6.15pm in good time for practice at 7pm.
I played horribly. Is it surprising? Obviously not considering I felt like the racquet weighs too much and Al kept asking me to go back to my old serve as the new one was all out, thus, lots of double faults. Couldn't concentrate, was hungry (no dinner), felt a little dizzy even and just wasn't in the mood. As a result, lost all my 3 match play. Finished playing at 8.35pm and reached home for dinner at 9.10pm. Ed and Sam waited for me, they were so nice to have starved. Thanks for waiting.
Sam had biology test today. She said she thinks she did ok on it and I asked what's her benchmark for an "ok" and she replied, "Hmm... perhaps an A-". Well, we'll see....
