Malaise

While the pain continues to subside however so slowly, the motivations also wanes.  Maybe it's the weeks of continuous rain that's dragging down the positive energy, or maybe it's the final realization that squash isn't really all that much fun.  Whatever the true feelings, the effect is on my will power and concentration on court.

I didn't see the ball early once today and despite my desire to, I didn't move all that well either.  I finally caught myself making an error because I was bending my back instead of bending my knees.

I felt even less motivated after following the link to US Squash rankings Niki sent me.  The US squash governing body divide up the rankings into so many categories, it's really impossible to know where one stands and how one measures up against the overall competition.

It's about two and a half weeks left to the skill level championship and I don't feel at all excited about playing it.
