I have nothing to say really, except that my body hurts from attempting to exercise. But yes, badminton is fun, especially playing with friends, and it also gives me a buzz to get invited by strangers to play mixed doubles. More hurt, I think, is my ego, realizing my skills may not improve that much, my speed, in particular. But hey, any excuse to get this butt off the couch is worth it. I'm going to influence the rest of the gang to play with us, at least once a week.
