exhaustion - when tennis came back in my life
When I was a kid I was very eager to work out, I did sports for several hours every day in the week. It was handball, tennis and wrestling mainly. We tried out a few other things to, but this sports stayed around for some years. It worked out very well for me to keep up with these sports. I enjoyed the sports a lot. I was committed, motivated and I knew that I would always keep exercising, because there was no other way. I couldn’t imagine the people just stayed at home watching tv after school/work. I mean i couldn’t understand where they used all their energy. This was until i reached around 17-18.
Sports for kids are one thing, when you reach level of seniors its another thing. The competition is getting harder, the pros will be the only ones left. At the same time more responsibility enter the life, with jobs, more demanding educations, relations, driving license. New interests. New focuses. I continued with the wrestling, as long as i was still living in my home town.
Eventually the wrestling was also over. I was at a university in a small neighborhood. The amount of energy decreased with the amount of exercise. The amount of motivation to exercise decreased with the lack of energy. Had entered a bad circle. I stayed there for some time. I became one of those sitting by the tv a while after getting home, since i was so exhausted. This was during my time at the university. it was loads of studying to do. And going to school is quite tireding to, craving a lot of energy. So it happened, i became one of them who i couldn’t understand the behavior and habits of, when i was 14.
During life in maldives i had time to exercise again and i did. But im not a gym person, and it was mainly gym, a little bit only a little bit tennis. It didn’t gave the big encouraging effects as i would have needed. But I value my life and experiences in maldives higher then anything else. I wouldn’t change them for the most fit body in the world.
Now i am in doha, its again another story. I tried with gym, it didn’t work well, again i am not a gym person. Around 2 months ago a french/norweigian guy contacted me and out of the blue suggested tennis. I hadn’t thought of tennis before since i came here, but it suddenly started to shape a plan and a desire inside my head. It took a month and then above guy took me to a tennis session. I was back, this was my old track.
Even though my cardio isn’t what it should be, it mattered less, i was on the track again. Ive found another tennis partner to play with now as well, we work similar timings and it will be a few times a week, and im getting high. The hormones and energy from exercise is addicting. In-between sessions, in combination with lack of sleep and stress at work, im quite exhausted, but i feel the energy coming back into my veins. The addiction, the happy feel good hormones i had as a child!
i have even got involved at some salsa nights, inspired, dancing is what im made to do. So salsa and tennis, that’s my new track. exhaustion - when tennis came back in my life.
I was born and raised this way.

Glad to see yu are feeling better... Again! lol :-D Ups and downs, eh? Just don't work to hard, luv. hugs
