My return to exercise continues. A two month absense from exercising has had a significant effect on my fitness.
I'll just keep at up the commitment. Maybe add some cycling too. I would like by late October to reach a similar level to that I achieved in May/June. I was running up vicious hills with pace power and a smile!! The winter will soon be upon us.
Since starting 11 days ago, I have had a run 9 of those 11 days. Each of these runs are 4.2 in distance, except the 2nd run which was 2.7.
My normal route was 5.0 miles. By Spring and early summer it was up 6.1 miles, 6 or 7 days a week.
In addition, I have begun to play a little solo tennis again. On Saturday I hit the ball for an hour. On Sunday I had two sessions of solo-tennis, totaling about 2 and a half hours.
The reason I stopped playing tennis in June/July was because I was hitting the ball of the neighboring wall and I was worried this was irritating my neighbors.
The neighboring house is a holiday home. I had thought the house was vacant for the winter. But no, the lights where on tonight. 
The wall I hit off is a painted pebble dash wall (little stones). The ground is mossy uneven grass. This makes for some very unpredictable returns.. Even on flat powerful groundstrokes.
The wall I hit off obviously fluffs up the balls more quickly.
The width is resricted by two trees.
Anyway I am really sleepy. The reason I am up so late is to listen to the final of the US Open between Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic.
