On Saturday morning I was up bright an early and at yoga by 7am for two and a half hours of pranayama breathing! Let's just say it definitely woke me up! We even had to have a bar of soap and a wrap bandage. The soap we had to pin to the wall by keep our shoulders back while at the same time keeping our chest lifted and chin tucked, holding the wrapped bandaged under it. This was not the most comfortable position to sit in for an extended period of time, hence why pranayama takes years of practice and training your body to be comfortable in the positions.
After yoga I came home and made a manicotti for tennis interclub. I played as a reserve for one of the teams (women's doubles then mixed doubles) and as the home team, we bring a dish to feed everyone after we play. I arrive at about 12:45 for short warm up and then started playing right at 1pm. I played with Julie, who was also a reserve playing her first interclub match. We ended up taking the first two sets to tie-brakers and then finally winning in the 3rd set! Then we went straight into mixed doubles, as that match had taken forever already! I played with Neil and we also went to three sets! Unfortunately we ended up losing in the 3rd set in that match. By the time we were finally finished our match it was after 5pm! So it was a VERY long day of tennis in the sun, which decided to come out right as we started! It had been pleasantly cloudy the whole morning.
After tennis I attended an xmas bbq! Kind of a strange phenomenon for me really...it's pretty difficult to associate a summer bbq with Christmas time...but I guess that's something I'll have to get used to because it's what everyone does! The tennis club is having an xmas bbq after Sunday doubles next weekend!
