A feeble effort all round this week, don't bother even reading

(1 point head start on a game for every 10 games the other person is ahead)
(we also play by "you have to WIN a game, genuine mistakes on game points are 'let' ")

Only 1 match played and we took it in turns to win games, and it seems even the case for points, if it wasn't for the sweat soaked shirts and pain filled hobbling it would seem as if we are not trying

No fencing yet and no change in weight, the same this week for the evil Green, not helped by my parents both achevingting their ideal weight and looking fab, sod this I'm off for a take away

As the heat still blazes down on our delicate and youthful forms (we are under no circumstances sweating like pigs and running like camels) the great battle continues

The strategy to beat Mr Green and his superior skill and shots has now finally been established, I have to wear outfits that are garish and in such poor taste that they hurt his eyes, and wear my fencing glove so i can hit the squash ball twice as hard (no slip grip), he in turn has worked out that he can run me into the floor then clean up on the later games, hmmmm

oh just go away, I'm just going to start fencing again, bugger this food lark (and that is after receiving some excellent advice by a fellow blogger), the only plus notes was that while by BMI is 28 my fat is 25%, so i have a normal (high end) fat percentage, so if i understand it right that means that i have a higher than average muscle content (keep dreaming, keep dreaming)

We have now established that Mr green is the better player, and when hes on form I receive a savage kicking, however bloody minded malevolence and a evil heavy squash racket that can pop squash balls is JUST taking the day

Due to a mixture of overwhelming work and Mr Green skiving on holiday, my blog has been a barren place, but we are back training so i have to do at least one tech entry per week to make up for these notes

I don't know what happened to Mr Green on holiday but his game has come on leaps and bound and delivered a overall thrashing to me this week.

3 weeks worth of results, but strangly little progress

(1 point head start on a game for every 10 games the other person is ahead)
(we also play by "you have to WIN a game, genuine mistakes on game points are 'let' ")

It should be noted that we are on to up to 6 games per match now and the games are far far harder and faster, we are going through balls at a rate of knots (single yellow spots rather than our traditional double yellow spots), i feel that its only the fact that mr Green wear the wrong trainers and so can't corner properly that is letting me win

This weeks sports was a titanic sports struggle

(1 point head start on a game for every 10 games the other person is ahead) (we also play by "you have to WIN a game, genuine mistakes on game points are 'let' ")

Mr Green gave me a sound 3-1 thrashing on Tuesday, but the combination of no sleep for 3 nights this week for him and the need to 'vent a bit' due to the actions of a petty minded person, lead to a 0-5 moment, but quite frankly i hurt everywhere!!

hes pulling away, I may need to chop a leg off to win!!

Ack!, 2 sports post in a row and i have not delivered on the JPA blog post is was supposed to write

Each game is getting harder and harder, with Mr Green turning into a swine of a drop shot player, he also has been reading up on how you actually play squash, as well as some strange thing called 'rules', i don't know where he gets these crazy ideas from

No move for either of us on the weight front, my lack of weight loss is down to clean living and general wholesome ness, Mr Green's is because he is an evil decadent swine

2 weeks without a technical article just updates on the feeble efforts of the 'Green' and I trying to not be spherical is poor, very poor, but the stalemate holds, however the viciousness increased, with Mr Green giving me a savage kicking on Tuesday at squash and me returning the favour in spades today, Ha!!,

Still a draw, i do however think Mr Green is being unfair by trying to eat properly and moving up to maybe 6 sessions a week
