The Naads Bulletin

It’s been a proper block of work — 13 sessions, nearly fifteen hours, over five thousand calories burned. The watch says the biggest effort ran 107 minutes with a heart rate that touched 183 — that’s the kind of number that makes you respect the work, even when the legs are screaming. Saturday alone stacked three sessions and a warm-down, which is the tennis equivalent of eating your vegetables twice.

The ladder shifted one place — now second in Bedfordshire 14U, 1656 points. Not a drama; more a nudge to keep the head down. The wall stayed quiet this week — no new notes pinned, no arcade scores topple — but the visitors ticked over at 383, so somebody out there is watching the tape.

And the calendar says the big one is eight days gone. Road to Wimbledon at the All England Club already happened — that’s in the rearview now, and this week’s grind is the afterburn. No time to dwell; the next target is already on the horizon.
