25th game of tennis

Rajesh and I just celebrated our 25th game of tennis together. We are getting better and better and having some titanic rallys and wonderfully close matches. We are both utterly hooked. It's been so much fun. 

Exercise (2025)

The highlight of my exercise this year was playing tennis with Rajesh 42 times. I absolutely loved every minute of it. We often did over 10,000 steps on the court in a match. 

Key statistics

• An average of 4.9 km walked per day, same as last year.  Total distance: 1775 km.
• 11 hikes
• 42 games of tennis

Playing tennis at Rajesh's new home

Rajesh's new flat has a tennis court and we've started playing on Wednesday evening. I couldn't be more thrilled. I love tennis so much and have really missed playing since my prior tennis partner, Brendan, left Sydney several years ago. 

After the tennis, we have been going to the pub for a meal. They do a Thai Beef salad that is absolutely to die for.

Exercise (2024)

A good year for exercise. An exciting development was Rajesh buying an apartment with a tennis court and getting to play tennis again.

Key stats

• An average of 4.9 km walked per day, up from 4 km per day last year. Total distance: 1766 km.
• 12 hikes.
• 11 games of tennis (all played in Nov & Dec)

Exercise (2023)

Highlights

• An average of 4 km walked this year, up from 3.4 km last year. The huge leap in August and September is due to my hike in Everest, Nepal, including both training in Sydney and the hike itself.
• I did 12 hikes in 2023, including Everest Base camp which was 11 full days of hiking.

Key stats

• Average distance walked per day: 4 km.  Total distance: 1443 km
• 12 hikes

Tennis

Brendan and I played tennis again today.  We're so evenly matched and had a great titanic battle.  So much fun.  And lovely in the sunshine.
