Tennis, Pushing The Limits

well yesterday i was all alone at home with the family bored to death watching "black swan" and well i got a call from a friend of mine to go play tennis. woah! why not? made me day. so we went to go play tennis for a few hours, and well i got another new blister >.< gah what is wrong with my hands? is it cause i have these ridiculous baby skin XD well i think so haha, and my friend crystal said i should go and buy some tennis gloves. not sure how that would feel or work but i might as well get them so i can stop getting these god awful blisters on my hands. i got a blister ON TOP of another blister and well it hurt like hell and it was gross looking -.- but of course i was still going to hit regardless because i want to play and i want to get better as always. and we played tennis for about.. 4? hours i think? we played from 3 to 8 and volleyball from 3 to 5. but yeah we played awhile and we were doing.. alright.. the blister wasn't hurting to bad until we started to play play [hitting hard giving everything you got] and well it started to hurt again. skin started peeling, shots of pain started to come in but gah i refused to stop playing. stupid? yeah kinda but i have to play ;o its like this disease i have. i refuse to stop playing once i have started no matter how excruciating the pain actually is. but yesterday i found out that as the pain got worse i started to hit worse, started to get mad at myself more for hitting bad, and then got worse and worse.. eh not a good time. pushing your limits is good sometimes but times like yesterday was not really a good thing. but there is one positive thing that i learned from all of it... when you hit a ball [short ball] hit it on the rise so that the other person doesn't have as much time to react. woah! made sense, cause as you do this it gets hit ALOT faster and quicker and the other person almost doesn't expect it coming. so i guess the moral of this little story of yesterday is.. it might of hurt to play but in the end i learned something good for the long run? eh something like that. but hey it was a good day yesterday! cant wait to get my licence so i can go drive myself around to play tennis almost everyday! woot! getting old is fun haha
