So I had the bright idea of suggesting a client and I meet at the batting cages for our quick meeting. We were both having a crazy week and thought that swinging a metal bat at baseballs would help relieve some of our stress. We each decided to pay for 60 pitches, most of which we both hit. I’ve not picked up a bat since middle school, so I was quite happy with hitting a majority of what was thrown at me, but I’m paying for it. For the rest of the day after the batting cages, my right-hand grip was rather weak. This morning though, both arms were sore and my grip is still poor. I had a heck of a time brushing my hair this morning (which is waist-length and requires a large paddle-type brush) and trying to reach behind me is a slower-than-normal process. However the bruise that threatened to form on my forearm is already vanishing, while after her first 20 pitches, my client/friend already had a decent bruise appear from her watch.
All in all, we both agreed that it was a great way to have a quick meeting to end the week and we plan on doing it again…but with gloves on…and she suggested softballs…at a slower pitch.
