The people JP and I used to play with on Sunday have reconvened so I have a place to play again. As expected after a long absence, I wasn&#39;t in the greatest shape, but it turns out that nobody was on form during that session, so I wasn&#39;t really at a disadvantage. Most of the games we played were sloppy with a lot of careless shots and unforced errors. They were not very competitive for the most part with one side (usually mine) having a clear advantage. There were also some air currents in the badminton center and that made things even worse. I lost my first game, but won every subsequent game during the session, so this qualifies as a &quot;triumphant return&quot; in my books since I could have done a lot worse. As expected, I&#39;m feeling a bit sore today after yesterday&#39;s session, but it&#39;s not too bad since the games weren&#39;t tough. <\/p>\n<p>Supposedly there will also be badminton next Sunday, so I&#39;ll post after that session as well. Hopefully the group will return to a regular schedule I have somewhere to play every week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being absent from the sport for over a month, I f [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-experience"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p10Mdy-1P","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
