Harder than it looks.

I'm just gonna say it: I'm fairly athletic. I played softball, basketball and soccer growing up, skied a bit and ran around like a chicken with my head cut off in our backyard trying to keep up with my older brother--throwing around a football, pretending I was an Olympic gymnast, kayaking, swimming, climbing trees--you name it. I played softball and softball in college and don't really know what life would be like without some sort of athletic outlet. I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, I am only trying to give you some perspective on my most recent athletic endeavor: tennis.

I kinda suck!
Lars and I reserved a court at one of the centers around town one night last week and played for about an hour. Or should I say, chased balls for about an hour. I have played a little tennis before but have never really gotten the hang of it; I think my baseball instincts always take over (too bad there's no homeruns in tennis!)!

But I must say, towards the end of the hour I did manage to hit the ball over the net and within the proper lines. And even though I wasn't a super star, I did have a good time.

So, just so you know: tennis is way harder that it looks!
