Wednesday was Day 3 of my preparation for the LA tennis challenge against my friend David and I've started to make big strides. Here are some highlights:
- I hit TENNIS BALLS with a TENNIS RACKET on a TENNIS COURT last night with my friend, although since I only have one racket he had to use a racquetball racket but still, I was crushing some nice groundstrokes, feeling much better than I thought I would. My serves were okay in one direction and pretty good the other way. All in all I felt much better on the court than I thought, I think Dave might be in real trouble.
- I started preparing for waking up before 6am on match day in order to make it to Long Beach by going to bed before 11pm last night which, of course, made me more tired this morning than when I usually roll until like 1 in the morning but I'm going to assume that somewhere in my internal body bank I'm paying off sleep debt.
- In this time of widespread Swine Flu panic (oh my god 109 cases out of 300 million Americans!) I am flying to LA, which is close to Mexico, which is close to the epicenter of the storm. This series might then spawn another series called "Monstro Blog presents: Mandel live swine flu symptom blog" which might significantly bump up our readership so I fully intend to sit next to the sneezing,hacking coughing phlegmy fat person on the flight.
- Today and tomorrow I'll be doing more court practice as well so all I can say is that this is going to be the match of the century, I'm getting that plane ticket paid for and I'm prepared to die on the court!
