If I could turn back time...

Georgeous isn't he....

I want a new left quad.

I haven't even tried to work out since the middle of last week, hoping against hope that my left quad will stop hurting and I will be able to hit with the pro I've hired to try to find my misplaced tennis game during my vacation. That said, I really must be some kind of masochist. I haven't swung a damn racket in two years and I'm going to step onto a court with a pro on Tuesday? How do you spell embarassment? OMG, the visions in my head of errant balls spraying from here to the moon and... well, best not to even think about serving. Worse, this pro apparently knows me from years ago when I was directing tennis tournaments (which is a story for another day). Not too much pressure.

GAME, SET, & MATCH!

Anyway, in a continuation of Friday night's mischief with respect to TriSaraTops, I will now tell you why I have posted a picture of Jean-Claude Van Damme on my blog:

Ready... I was once told that I looked like him at a tennis tournament in Chicago. PLEASE.

Now IF in my misspent youth, I wasn't so difficult to look at, I was assuredly no Jean-Claude Van Damme... and if I was.... damn, I should have gotten laid a whole lot more than I ever did.... Some years later, a lesbian that I bowled with, told me that I looked like Skip Sudduth from Third Watch. I don't see it but hey....

Henceforth, as the inspiration strikes, I may take Rae up and match other RBFers photos to their celebrity counterparts. This, of course, will not be an exact science.

FINALLY,

Depending on what happens with tennis, I am going to lay off the running for a few weeks until the Running Room 5k clinic starts. They do a 10x1 run/walk thing which is totally fine by me (shut up already those of you who think this is not running). With any luck, I'll be able to do the Pride and Rembembrance 5K which takes place the Saturday morning of Pride Weekend here in Toronto.

After that, and depending on how the dust settles with my job, I'm going to get myself a coach. Why not? I always had a tennis coach. With any luck, I'll be able to afford to work with a person who will be able to understand how I tick and what I'm up against emotionally/physically in fulfilling my dream to run a marathon.

Have a great week all!
