I just lost several games...
Saturday, 21 July 2007
Once upon a time, I used to be quite good at badminton. I had lessons, the Muir family regularly made up a foursome at the local sports centre, and despite being more of a musician than a sportswoman, I never received in my teens quite as much of an ass-kicking as I did this afternoon when playing Ben and Anne down at Lightfoot Centre. What can I say - it's been over a decade since I played badminton properly, and it definitely shows! However, best not to allow despondency to settle in, I feel. If I'm going to be fit, I'm going to have to work hard and make it a regular part of the routine. It is so tempting to come in after a day at school and sit down with a glass of wine and a book or film, instead of leaping back up and doing some exercise, but I'll definitely thank myself for it when I can look in the mirror and be happy with who I see looking back at me.

It wasn't the "ass kicking" you make out. :)

Ben's right - it wasn't an ass kicking. It would be fun to play more often. We can do loads of different sports, cos I'd definitely like to get fitter too. Oh, and if I were you, I'd be very pleased by what I saw in the mirror ;-)
