I am too out of shape

Ok, I started the exercise thing today. Matt was raiding in EQ, so I went out and played tennis by myself. The idea was to hit the ball against a wall at the end of the court and it was going to be fun. Then I was going to take a swim and lay out in the sun for 15 minutes or so. Here's how it really happened:

In order to get into the tennis court or pool, you need to have your building security keychain thing. Well, I forgot it inside. Problem is, you need it to get back into the building, too. Of course I didn't have my phone with me, either, so I ended up walking all the way around the building and going in through the loading docks. I got my security keychain thing and went back out to the courts. I had with me a tennis glove so my hand wouldn't get blistered, one ball, my racket, and a beach towel.

I bounced the ball against the clay court and hit it...over the fence. Since I only had one ball, I jogged (yes, jogged) around the court and had to climb up a steep hill to the area behind the court. This area was weeded and full of bugs. I found my ball and about six others. Repeat this about four times. I finally got a good rhythm going, and when I was reaching for a ball, I lost my balance and fell. Good thing I had that tennis glove on, which I ripped and put a nice bruise on my other wrist.

That was enough tennis for me for the day. I went to the pool and jumped in. I swam laps for about 20 minutes or so, and laid out for about 15. I think I am already starting to look more tan. Then I went back in the apartment. I felt really good while I was lying in the sun, but as I was in the elevator I started to get that really bad feeling. You know, the one where you suddenly see a really bright light and then you can't hear anything. I managed to make it up to my apartment and ended up getting sick. I laid in bed for a little while then took a shower.

I have no idea what made me sick, but I think I'm just way too out of shape and I need to take it a little slower. Or maybe it was some weird sunstroke or something. I'm not quitting, though! I'll be back at it tomorrow. :)
