JP is pretty busy these days with work and coaching so he hasn’t had the time to post here or write new articles, so for now we’ll have to make do with my weekly Sunday badminton posts.<\/p>\n
This week there were only five of us playing. More people were supposed to show up but they didn’t. For the first hour JP and I and the other spent our time doing skills training. During training I did some footwork exercises with JP. I don’t even remember the last time I worked on my footwork, and I was winded after a few rounds. This just goes to show how unfit I am. My lack of stamina proved costly as JP and I lost the first game we played due to my numerous screw-ups. I got my second wind shortly after and JP and I dominated the second game. In the third decisive game, our opponents recovered a little after a rest, but JP and I still prevailed. The last game was JP and I vs. JP’s buddy and his son, so it was a father-son team match up. We should have won the game since we had superior firepower, but my strength started failing again we lost a close one.<\/p>\n
So in the end I had .500 record this Sunday. Although I didn’t play that many games, I got plenty of exercise thanks to the footwork training beforehand. I exercise pretty regularly these days but I still haven’t managed to lose any weight. Maybe it’s time to try dieting again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
