This is because I haven&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>However, this doesn&#8217;t mean that I can&#8217;t play any badminton ever. Last Friday I went to play badminton with JP at the &#8220;club&#8221; that he organizes. The last time I played badminton was about half a year ago, but surprisingly I didn&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;m not much of player myself my side lost the battle.<\/p>\n<p>So overall, my return to badminton after six months turned pretty well&#8230; 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&#8217;m sure if I played regularly then I wouldn&#8217;t have been nearly as sore. I should really more badminton, but unfortunately school started again, which means I probably won&#8217;t be playing badminton for next few months. It&#8217;s too bad, but school comes first. Guess I won&#8217;t be writing here for another long while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again, I haven&#8217;t written here in a long time [&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-128","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-24","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128","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=128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jpbadminton.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
