Last week was a good week! My tennis elbow is getting better and I was able to complete all of my exercise goals, except for Saturday my tennis class was canceled because of rain.

Last week, I had a hard time keeping up with my schedule. I did something that aggravated my tennis elbow and it wasn’t playing tennis. Lifting something heavy I think started it.
