Just had softball tonight. Right in 1st inning, someone hit it way over my head, so got a little sprint. Then rest of the game was uneventful with just a few fielding moves and one run to 1st.

Wednesday, so it's a softball day (no tennis). Unfortunately we didn't have a very good game, in fact lost by the slaughter rule. Had a few balls in the outfield so got a bit of running (we were short so I had all of center field!), but hitting wasn't great. Walked once and got a hit once--but caught.

Had the drive home today (vacation was awesome) so we got going right away this morning. Drove home, then made it to the softball game. We finally won!!!! Hit like crap, but at least had some good fielding plays.

We had a bye for softball, but we did a practice. Did that, then went to tennis. It was warm and we played three sets so it was a good little workout.

Well, I kind of cheated today on my "20 minutes of exercise rule". Knee's still tender so I was going to get up and do an Ab workout today. As I got up from bed, I realized how sore my abs and obliques still were from Monday night....nope, another ab workout wouldn't be a good idea.

I have both softball and tennis again tonight. At softball, I had one good hit that had me get most of the way around the bases, and two great fly catches that had me running a bit, plus some other backup runs. Then at tennis we had lots of deuces and a tie-breaking set. Since it's doubles, it's not alot of running, but some. Plus it's a workout of my arms, legs, and core so it's kind of like a strength and flexibility workout. Unfortunately that's all I did so it wasn't a concentrated workout, so I feel like I cheated a bit. Yet, when I started this challenge, the whole goal came from me thinking that I had no excuse not to do at least 20 minutes of activity a day. Ultimately, it was to get me off my butt and not just sit around when I really have at least 20 minutes every day I could do "something". Therefore I guess being on a softball league and tennis summer league does just that---it's something to get me active in at least a little way.

Talk about a cross-training day! I got up early and did the Level I of the 30-day shred. Then after work I had a softball game. Went straight from that to play tennis. I actually felt great and loved doing all these different physical activities.

Softball today and there were a few hits that I had to sprint for, plus a few hits so sprinting to first. Came home and still had to work out. Decided to try my newer DVD, the one with 10 minute workouts. Did 2 of those workouts, one active one and a stretching one. Not the hardest workout, but at least it was something on top of the softball.

I should have gotten up to exercise, but I was just sooooo tired. I just couldn't get going. I have softball tonight at 6:50pm so I thought to bring clothes with to go to the All Saints gym. I didn't want to strain myself too much, so I just did 20 minutes on the elliptical with no resistance and 10 minutes on the bike with minimal resistance. Good enough, then off to softball.
