The cheerleader in me still loves to rock the work out skirts. I have run several half marathons, a few marathons, 10ks, 25ks, 10 milers, etc in various tennis skirts.
I have no idea how to play tennis. To be perfectly honest, I don't even know the rules. But I have about 5 skirts (none of which I could locate last night - so annoying) and belong to 2 tennis clubs. It's time to learn I think.
So today is lesson 1. I had been planning on a wearing my Nike pleated skirt, with the Nike Half Marathon shirt, complete with the Tiffany's necklace - but the laundry Gods were not cooperative.
You can call me out on it - half the reason why I'm learning is because tennis girls have the best outfits. No one else gets to wear a dress to an athletic competition. The other reason is because I would love to be able to ace (Am I using this word correctly?). It looks pretty cool & pretty impressive that the ball doesn't come back.
It's important to try new things and challenge yourself at beginner's level. It's hard to take on a new activity and learn basics. I look like a fool sometimes at TRX, but hey, I'm trying it and pretty soon I will get the chest presses down. Cross training helps you get through grueling periods of training, and when you want a light/rest day, it's nice to mix it up once in a while. And you have bragging points on how many different sports you can play.
Wish me luck - pretty sure I'm going to look like a fool again :)
