Webster Park. Pleasant temp., sunny, but a bit breezy.

HJ trail and some nearby roads.

Rec center, indoors.

Webster Park. Extremely windy, have never played in these conditions before. Not the greatest group of players, but I had some OK games.

Uplifting moment -- one of the players there is this lady who looks early to mid 70's. Decent player -- ex tennis player. Definitely better than many people way younger. We found out a few weeks ago that she's actually 80, which we were all impressed about. Then today, she left earlier than she usually leaves, and she was asked why. She said she was going to a birthday party -- for her MOTHER! (Mother is 104 we found.)

Webster Park. Good turnout, although generally less skilled players, so most of my matches were rather lackluster. Exception to the lesser skilled players was John B. -- had three games on the opposite team from him as my last 3 games of the morning, and he outplayed me quite decisively resulting in his team trouncing my team in two of the games. In the last game I managed to earn a win because my partner was a good notch about his partner.

HJ trail run. Slow and short, but I tell myself it's better than not running at all ...
