Squash

I had a hit of squash today for the first time in 15 years. It was at the YMCA for Michael’s birthday, playing against kids and solo practice.

I used to be a pretty good at squash. I peaked when I was about 17. After that I played irregularly except for a solid season at Bairnsdale in 1987.

I played one more competitive season at Maffra in 1990 but I’d lost fitness by then. After that I just had a couple of social games in Melbourne and Ceduna.

I’m probably fitter now than I was in 1990 but I’ll definitely feel some soreness tomorrow. I started shakily today on the court but was hitting the ball well by the time we finished. I’ll think about taking up squash again. It’s great exercise.
