Breaking bread with the team

We had a great night of practice Thursday night. It seemed like everybody was into it. For the first time in a while, we didn't rotate teams after each set. This allowed us to play a full match against another team. It was great. Very intense. I played my ass off, the best tennis I have played in month's and we still lost in a third set tie breaker. I love playing with these guys, they are so much better than me that they force my game to a higher level.

After we got of the court we went up and had a few beers. Gary works for a bread company and he brought some bread. We tore into a loaf or two like we had never eaten before. The stuff is incredible. Drinking beers with these guys is a blast. We only have 2 or 3, but after 3 hours of tennis they seem to hit you pretty good. We have a couple of Aussies on the team, They are real strong players and even better story tellers. I could sit there and drink beer and listen to them spin tales all night.

I was a little tired Friday after the late Thursday practice. I went to the gym and played hoop. I actually played pretty well. After work I was going to run Mine Falls but I just didn't have it in me. I went out to have a beer with Sean who is in town for the weekend.

I'm going to try to get a short run in today, and then a longer one with Sean tomorrow.
