First in awhile, 5 minutes, Going to test it

Yesterday I played pickleball for the first time this week. It was the first time in nearly two weeks I got through a session without my left knee going “out”. I also happened to play pretty well which was likely connected. When my knee is hurting I am hesitant to go at 100% which knocks everything down a few pegs. I am hoping this trend continues.

Last night I got motivated to do a quick video on my current paddle collection, somewhat motivated by receiving my latest and greatest paddle, a Holbrook Power Pro. As mentioned in the video I really need to slow down the paddle buying train. I currently have nine in my bag which is pretty ridiculous. Curbing that impulse buying trend can be part of a bigger effort to cut back on my spending somewhat, which has been off the rails ever since I moved.

Tonight I am planning to give my left knee a real test as I try to play volleyball for the first time in a couple weeks. If I get through the session without limping afterward I will feel more confident that the last two weeks of knee issues was just a bump in the road.
