Extreme Badminton!
Me and Mike decided it would be a good idea to play badminton this afternoon.... Yes, badminton, mid-afternoon, in 31 degree temperatures in a sports hall!
To be fair we were going to play tennis, which would have been (slightly) worse, out in the sun!
You can tell we were the only mental ones because out of the 11-12 courts they have at Chilwell, we were the only people playing! To top it off, because it was just me and Mike, we weren't exactly playing easy games! We managed to play five 15 point games, and most of them were close as usual.
Not a good day to start playing proper 15 point games! Ah well, it was all good fun in the end, all helps to improve endurance.
...Oh yeah and I won four of them ;-)
Apart from badminton had a pretty boring weekend again, just counting down to going away now!
Shame about the football yesterday, even not being much of a football fan, that match was one of the most stressful things I have ever watched! They did really deserve to win after fighting that long with 10 men, but oh well.
On a good point, it seems we may at last have signs of a decent tennis player! I know theres always stupid amounts of hype around british players, because we're clutching at any opportunity we can get basically, but seeing a couple Andy Murray's Wimbledon matches this year, particularly yesterdays brilliant display against Andy Roddick, I've got to say I'm impressed! Lets just hope he can keep it up... bring on Federer!
