Brief Return to Badminton

Once again, I haven’t written here in a long time. This is because I haven’t been playing badminton at all due to various academic and personal commitments. The last year of school is tough, and I really need to focus in order to end my undergrad career on a high note.

However, this doesn’t mean that I can’t play any badminton ever. Last Friday I went to play badminton with JP at the “club” that he organizes. The last time I played badminton was about half a year ago, but surprisingly I didn’t feel too rusty at the start of the session. During the first game, I made some errors, and my serve was a little sporadic, but I thought I did alright for a guy who hasn’t played in six months. At least my smash and clear seemed to be present, and my side won the first game. The good things continued throughout the night as I won all except one game. In the one game I lost, I was partnered with a beginner, and since I’m not much of player myself my side lost the battle.

So overall, my return to badminton after six months turned pretty well… or so I thought. The morning after I woke up and my entire lower body plus right arm was sore. I could still walk, but only barely, and going up stairs was quite uncomfortable.The soreness lasted until the next Monday. I’m sure if I played regularly then I wouldn’t have been nearly as sore. I should really more badminton, but unfortunately school started again, which means I probably won’t be playing badminton for next few months. It’s too bad, but school comes first. Guess I won’t be writing here for another long while.
