I haven't played in awhile due to my shoulder killing me and my back hurting.  Not sure why everything is affecting me so, but I think a big portion of it is that I'm working longer hours and more intensely.  The repetitive stress to my ligaments and joints aggrevates any type of exercise after the fact.

Today I got on the court to see what the potential differences were between running on an elliptical and playing on the court.  Imagine my suprise when playing on the court felt better than running on an elliptical.  I thought that the elliptical would be a lower impact exercise and thus hurt less.  Maybe I was wrong?  I do want to try just swimming a few laps on the next workout session and compare that.  I also saw some dudes playing volleyball, so I might give that a whirl.  I think basketball is out, and I don't want bad knees and I really suck :)

Either way, it's looking up for playing racquetball again!
