For years I've kept myself busy during the winter by playing indoor tennis. I've played tennis since I first started taking lessons at the local club when I was in first grade. I played on my high school and college teams winning the Maryland JuCo state tennis championship in 1999.
I've played USTA leagues for years and last year finished as runner up in our local mens doubles tournament. Like normal, I started getting ready for tennis season this week. Sadly, this year didn't go as planned.
In practice Tuesday night I got hurt on the first play of my practice match. I hit a forehand and moved toward the net. I've don't this millions of times in my tennis career. This time, I felt a tear and was in agony instantly. After investigation, I have a grade 2 tear of my right calf.
I'm done will all activity for 1-2 weeks. In 3 to 4 weeks I can start walking on a treadmill and swimming with no walls. No running or biking for 8-12 weeks.
That's why I haven't posted this week, I'm not good at being injured. But I'm trying. I'll post more with a plan next week. Right now I'm just disappointed.
