No hand eye coordination, can barely breathe and haed is in a fog. Not sure if it's due to lack of sleep from the concert last nite or the head cold. Ahh I'm thinking headcold...but the concert was good. Continue

So I was hanging out in front of the glass court watching a couple play and then the court became empty so I invited the guy sitting next to me to play. He was waiting for a doubles game but agree to get a short game in while he was waiting for the rest of his group to show up. Trevor and I played a game and it was a smack down. What a difference in level of play between the two of us. I was amazed and the speed in which he can hit the ball and accuracy of the shots. I did manage to score a few… Continue

Finally feeling better. Antibiotics are a good thing:-) Felt good to be back in the gym and playing though it's getting a bit boring doing drills and such the whole time by myself.

Ok after being away from racquetball for nearly 10 years I've picked it back up again. I joined a local club "The Big C" in Concord, CA a few weeks back and have just been getting back into the swing of things and trying to get my endurance level back up to play a full game without passing out. I had a lesson today with Dave and he reviewed some of the lessons and drills I used to do 10 years ago and after a 10-15 min warm up with him and another member Terry we did a round robin just to get us… Continue
