Wendy always looks so adorable, and put together. Wish I had her closet.

Face Off Tennis at ACC

One quick thing before I get into my recap from last Friday night. I’m not getting e-mails lately, when the comments come in, so I apologize if you don’t get an e-mail reply when I comment underneath your comment! :(

Remember on Thursday and Friday of last week I said I’d be hanging out with Serena Williams? I was SO CLOSE to her at the Tennis match! Thanks to the tickets that Sport Chek supplied for me and my Boyfriend.

It was such a fun event, and I even got to sit next to one of my blog-friends Robyn!

Even though I knew nothing about Tennis, I still enjoyed it. It was aired live on TSN and definitely wasn’t as quiet as I would’ve thought it would be in watching a tennis match, in the Air Canada Centre.

We arrived about a half hour late, which wasn’t an issue since the beginning was just a few Canadian celebrities playing tennis for fun, against the elite players. Brad Smith, from The Bachelor Canada was there, along with Adrian Grenier, George Stroumboulopoulos, and Mark Cohon.

Caught Serena Williams mid-serve.

Aga Radwanska ended up winning the match. My Boyfriend told me she’s ranked 13th in the world!

The players made it so fun and entertaining to watch with their antics as it was a fun exhibition game, so it wasn’t as serious. The announcer made a few suggestions to Andy Roddick and Milos Raonic when they were serving the ball.  Milos was told to make fun of Andy’s serve, I think the funniest part was when Andy stuffed towels down the back of his shorts to imitate Serena Williams.

A lot of the girls were screaming out to Andy, to marry them. It was pretty funny, gotta say though — he is pretty hunky.

Here he is talking to the audience, no doubt saying something to make us all laugh.

That’s how close we were to the Tennis court. Ahhh! Thanks again to Sport Chek for the amazing opportunity to attend such a fun event!

Will I ever give up?

2 Comments

Will I ever give up, or quit my fitness regime? (Which consists of climbing, CrossFit, Soccer, and now running again!)

I’m not sure to be honest. If I don’t enjoy something any more, sure I’ll consider quitting. Just like I did at soccer for the summer of 2011 because I just had enough after getting injured frequently. (Man, when I injured my ankle I honestly though I had broken it. There were tears in my eyes which never happens (I think I have a high pain toldeance) but I was like OMFG bring me one of those orange boards to lie on … like they have at the spine treatment centers of america!

Then again I re-joined the CrossFit indoor soccer group this year.

I’ve quit going to the gym a number of times. In fact, it was a game “How long could I last?”. It always lasted no longer than half a year. Going to a regular gym doesn’t excite me, and I never really realized that until I started CrossFit.

I always attended group classes at a local gym, got bored of the routines, and started to plateau. CrossFit excites me, because you can go months without doing the same workout. The coaches there are helping you perform properly, and do the movements without injury. The classes are smaller so it feels like you have a personal trainer all the time next to you, pushing you. I felt like just a number at the big gyms. I didn’t know the instructors.

I quit soccer for a year and a half. I had been playing for 15+ years and lost all passion for it in my last summer season, which was summer 2011. I had an ankle injury in 2009 which happened AT soccer and it wasn’t healing. I was getting more afraid of the ball, being less aggressive and I felt I wasn’t bringing anything to the team. I made the difficult decision of leaving the team last year and not playing indoor last winter, nor outdoor this summer.

I think I really needed the break and I wasn’t planning on getting back into soccer again until I was invited by my CrossFit coaches who are putting together an indoor league this winter. I accepted the invite to join their league and we started playing back in September!

Despite not climbing for the past few months, I don’t think I’ll ever give up on climbing. It’s taken a back seat right now since I’m more focused and excited about going to CrossFit.  But I think come this Fall/Winter I’ll pick it up again. I really want to go to the next boulder competition in December, but if I even consider that I should really get my butt in gear and head in.

Here’s a photo of me from last years boulder comp. Neat huh?

I don’t think one should ever stop being active. It’s what keeps you healthy, and what keeps me awake during the days to be honest, ha ha!
