So today, when I went to work, it turns out that the boss had scheduled too many people, and so, I get the day off.

After running a few errands, I decide to do a little practicing on my tennis game, (my girlfriend and I play every now and then. She always wupps up on me. So I figured a little practice would help). At the main court I usually practice on, where there is a wall to practice against, it was completely occupied, and so I had to try my fortunes elsewhere. I found an open court somewhere else, but there was no practice wall. Because of that, I could only really practice my serves. I decided, however, that to get a little bit more excercise, I'd run to the other side of the court. Now here is where today's lesson, (and thus your opportunity to laugh at me), begins:

No matter how good of an idea it might seem like to try and be a track star and hurdle the net in the middle, DON'T DO IT! It might start out as innocent fun. Heck, you'll probably even clear it the first few times. I think I made it 7. But sooner or later, you're going to get tired and sloppy, and the second your big, dope-assed feet hit that net, you're screwed.

I consider myself lucky at this point, in that I still have all of my teeth. However, I jammed my wrist and elbow so bad I could hardly bike back home. So thanks for listening everybody. Consider yourselves warned.
 
That's why no tennis champion ever does that "exercise": the only time they'd do that, it's when the match is over, and they won.
It's not only dangerous, as you already know now, but it's pretty useless for tennis players, too.

Plus the added fact that, if they mess it up, it's guaranteed to be on video which can be played over and over and over..... The humiliation :p
 
Looks like I might not have gotten off as easily as I thought. I think I'm going to have to see a doctor today. My elbow and wrist are so swollen I can barely move them. I'm a bit worried that one or both of them might be broken.
