We all love to play pickleball because it’s fun, but sometime the additional benefits of playing get overlooked.
Here is another great example of winning at pickleball. Chris and Jim Cooke are two of the most recent 100 Mile club award winners at Abby Grubbs’ Pickleball Mile Club. Chris just logged her 100th mile playing pickleball this week and here is the story she sent in to Abby.
It is certainly inspiring to me. Thought you all might enjoy it. -Rocket

Hey Abby,
I have completed my first 100 miles!!
I started playing last June after attending a tournament with my husband in Madison, Wisconsin. Since then I have lost 30 lbs. and have been playing several times a week. We have combined this exercise with eating about 1200 calories a day. I have been diabetic for about 25 years and this fall was able to stop one of my medicatins and cut back on another. I also have been able to buy all new clothes!!
Last August we drove from Kentucky to Seattle, cruised to Alaska, then drove back to Kentucky. We played pickleball all the way there and all the way back! Soon we will be driving to California and back and plan to play all both ways again! We are meeting so many great players and great people and we enjoy having something that we can do together and share at this point in our lives. I will be 70 next year and Jim will be 68. We are going to attend the senior games in Minneapolis in July and hope to have a good time and play well. this past weekend we particicpated in the Low Country Classic in Sun City, Hilton Head, South Carolina and won silver in our age group and skill level. It was unexpected and exciting.
Thanks to you and Pickleball Rocks for all you do!!
Chris Cooke
