I went for a run this morning before playing tennis with Gareth at 8. We played a set, which I lost 6-3. This continues my run of pretty unimpressive form, which goes like this:
v Loz lost 6-7
v Alex 4-4 (play suspended)
v Gareth lost 3-6
v Gareth lost 3-6
The 4-4 result against Alex is obviously the most impressive considering he is a regular 2nd / 1st team player at Lowlands plus a coach. Needless to say he would have beaten me 6-4 if we'd had time to complete the set.
Regarding the run I mentioned.... I am desperately unfit. I struggled to complete two laps of a very small block. Not good.
To finish off, here is a transcript of a conversation that happened at the tennis club between Tony (the bar manager), Gareth and myself:
Tony: Gareth, have you played tennis tonight?
Gareth: Yes.
Tony: You don't look like you broke a sweat. Look at him! [gestures towards me]
[all those within earshot look at me]
Tony: James... you used to be quite athletic. [pauses, waiting for me to acknowledge this. I give a nod, knowing where this conversation is going] You look TERRIBLE
Cheers Tony.

Mate, you don't look terrible.
Whoever you are, thanks for your support!

(Different anonymous person by the way)
Wow, thanks - especially if you are female!
Although I have a feeling you're not!
