He Lives To Smoke Another Day....

You didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you?  It seems the SF has been dumbing down his game for the last couple of months because he gave me a run for my money today.  I took beating after beating....after beating today.  I ran, I dived, I jumped, I lunged but, all of that was not enough to get me remotely CLOSE to beating him 3 games.

In fact, I only managed to squeeze one win out of him and when I started to pull away the next game, the panic started to set in for him and he upped his game even further.  He mumbled something about, "he could beat me WHILE smoking a cigarette!"

We are setting a rematch soon because he informed me that I only have until the end of the month to win the bet and then he is retiring until the Fall/Winter season.

Fingers crossed!

Wish Me Luck!!!

Today may be the day the SF MUST quit smoking.  You see, he bet me that if I beat him 3 games at squash today, that he would quit!  He even shook my hand.  Since I beat him twice last week, it isn't completely unfathomable, is it?  You know damn well he will be playing full out.  And now that I recall, he had run 10k the day before?!  But, if I'm successful, I suspect tomorrow will be the day of renegotiation.  LOL!

As for the rest of life....I am spinning slightly by the looming start date of my new job.  I can't wait to get started but I feel like I have 9 years of organizing to get done in the next couple of weeks.  I continue my year and a half long struggle to organize my office and as usual, I'm not getting very far.

And, the running continues....I am in Week 5 of 8 and, knock on wood, it is going fantabulously!  Yesterday's run Run 7 minutes, Walk 2 x 3....combining my warmup, I completed 4.1 km.  Besides my back, which is always sore, my knees are the only thing that are feeling the impact.  Just stiff more than anything.  Stretch. Stretch. Stretch.

I'll check back in with you in a couple of hours....after I whoop the SF's ass!
