ouch
Friday August 1, I was able to do some very light shoulder work, felt pretty darn good.. and then I went out & played tennis with the wife.. and tore my right calf muscle. At first I thought I nailed myself with the racket on the follow-thru or something, that’s what it felt like. Ridiculous sh!t. So me & the wife’s anniversary weekend celebration took a huge hit, as I was couch-bound for the duration. (We had the kids shipped off to the grandparents, all kinds of plans.. so much for that. We improvised & had all kinds of sex all w/e, so at least there was a silver lining! 
)
Anyway, got into my chiro on Monday, he said I’ve got a Grade 2 tear, 4-6 weeks recovery as best case scenario. Unfreakinbelievable. I’m becoming quite brittle it seems..
Whoulda thought tennis would be so rough? Other than the occasional sore back from overexertion I’ve never had any injuries from it. Depressing too - cuz I’ve been playing the best tennis of my life this summer.
All competition plans on hold for now; rest assured tho, I’ll be back.
Today: shoulder is on the mend, really feeling pretty good. Calf is in healing stage as well - I can walk semi-normal now! Will take rehab slow & gradual, but things are on the upswing..

Just WAIT until you’re 50!!! Actually, I’ve been pretty injury free the last few years. It was the early 40s that killed me
