Bad runs...

[Sweder]

I think you'll find Hal eschews the Racket racket in favour of the superior sport of cricket Never mind X training - I lost half a stone screaming at my radio for England to take the last wicket this afternoon: what a test match!

Seriously, 5-a-side was ditched for this reason (injuries). Of course tennis is non-contact (in theory!) and so should be lower risk than football or hockey. I play badminton (sedate standard - that is, you have to take a performance inhibiting drug pre-match) but even so now and again someone will turn an ankle or trip over their zimmer, which would mean adios running for several weeks. But then you can do that getting out of bed (especially when you're as knackered as I am in the morning) so I guess it's a case of risk assessment and risk management.

Where's me clipboard?
