I was playing tennis early in the summer with some friends. The problem was that I had a hard time finding an appropriate friend to play with. My current friends weren’t any good at tennis. I’m nothing special but I need people who’ve played before. I guess next year I’ll have to find a better tennis partner(s). I want to start sailing. Besides that, other sports that work for me are walking and backpacking. Also, I’ve found recently that for excercise I’ve been having a good time jogging to the lake and doing pushups, pullups, and situps along the way. That’s not a sport exactly but it does give me a straight forward and reliable method of excercise. I feel 100% afterwards. And the solitary style helps me focus. Sport is fun but if it doesn’t achieve the goal of physical excercise then it’s going to be extra. I suppose if I had a good tennis partner I wouldn’t have to jog and could play tennis and stick to just the pushup, pullup, situp, etc in addition. Ok, this is really just a diary I guess. Good luck.
Tennis, etc
