Group Lesson at Pharr with R. and K. (7 of 10):
My Mojo: Above-Average
I felt like I was hitting pretty solidly today. One exception was my running backhand. I was landing all of those with weak placement for a while, and just when I felt like I was starting to get the form right, we stopped the exercise. Ugh. Later we played singles king of the court with the four best players in the class, and I did not do too bad. At first, I was a bit tensed up, but after a few points, I loosened up and made it to the king side a decent amount of the time and was able to hold for several points.

A scholarly discourse regarding fascinating and obscure psychological factors leading one of this planet's more curious carbon-based organisms to extemporaneously expel random musings which may or may not be related in some fashion to propelling a small round object through space above a flat surface either into or beyond an interweaved perpendicular highly porous fabric, within or outside of geometric patterns inscribed upon the aforementioned flat surface, mostly utilizing a stringed paddle.
This blog will, among other things, chronicle my attempts to meet my New Year's resolution of playing 365 sets of tennis in 2007. I did let myself start a little more than a month early. Why? Because I can. And because the thought of averaging a set a day for a year is, um, maybe a little overwhelming. I wanted some leeway to deal with the inevitable injuries, rainouts, cancellations, and so on. I also needed time to ramp up and contact people and get a network of people to play. So I have already started 2007 with 34 sets that I played in late November and December of 2006. Anyway, either way, I did play (and even exceeded) my 365 sets for a year, whether you count it from starting early or or from January 1, 2007. For more info, click on Why a Tennis Blog? and Clarification and Further Study of the Matter at Hand. Nowadays I just chronicle the tennis I play when I feel like it.
