I haven’t played tennis much in the past few years but I’ve been itching to get back into it.  I played a lot growing up, especially during high school.  I got pretty decent but never won any tournaments or anything.  Anyway, I’ve been looking all around the area for tennis clinics or some kind of board with people looking to hit and have had a hard time finding anything.  I finally found a “cardio tennis” class at a country club not too far away.  Luckily the class is open to non-members and is very affordable.

I went tonight for the first time and had a blast.  There were 7 of us and everyone was really nice.  Luckily it was *only* 90 degrees, though a little muggy…but it could have been a lot worse.  I think I probably sweated off about 10 lbs.  (Yeah right…that would be nice though..)  It was a great workout and a lot of fun.  I’m going to go again on Wednesday and try to keep going twice a week.  It’ll be good exercise and get me playing more.  I think I’ll also be able to hit with some of the people in the class, so it’ll be nice to finally meet some people down here.

Later in the summer I might try to join a league, though it kinda scares me.  I was never very good at matches…I think I used to get really nervous, so I don’t want to let a team down.  But we’ll see.  It’ll probably be fun.
