This will be short and to the point on account of me being out of breath. Today included 2 full hours of graduate student orientation, 6 hours of work, and another 2 full hours of racquetball.
I should probably let you know that I LOVE the sport of racquetball! If you asked me to run laps for 2 hours forget it. If you asked me to play basketball for 2 hours I’d probably decline, and even bicycling and roller skating isn't as much fun for me as a good game of racquetball.
I'm no expert, though I am improving as I play competitively with a couple of friends at a comparable skill level.
Due to a recent knee injury caused by chopping wood and a stray log encounter (a whole different exercise story) I have been favoring my left leg. Which means I should be letting myself heal up and play conservatively... yet it's competitive sports so I gotta play to win right?
Well I played pretty hard, and won a few singles matches, a doubles match, and lost a singles match as well as lost a cutthroat match. Overall I was very pleased and might I reiterate that, hands down, racquetball is one of my most enjoyable modes for exercising!
