Jackson and I went to the gym yesterday as always. He has been teaching me how to play racquetball for months. It's the game Jackson has played for many years. I thought I'd like to try it since he has so much fun playing the game and it's something we can do together. He coaches me on most Saturdays but when he is busy playing I practice on my own.
Yesterday one of the guys asked if I wanted to play. I told him I was learning and hadn't really played a game yet. So he had me serve and I got better as we went along and he had a lot of tips too. I got quite a workout and I feel with more practice and actually playing some games I will turn out to be a decent player. I plan to keep trying!

Keep up the good work, Joy! I wish I were young again and I could do stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's great exercise and I can see why Jackson likes it so much!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Joy! It sounds like fun. Is it similar to squash or is there a net like tennis?
ReplyDeleteI've never played squash but it's probably similar to racquetball. There is no net like tennis and I think it's easier and more fun!
