I got split step

I forget to do a split step when I play tennis, but at least I got the splitstep.blogspot.com URL. Now I have no excuse for not moving my feet on the court.

In this journal, I'll keep track of my struggles to improve my tennis game. I'm stuck in the la-la land of 3.5-4.0. Last week, after the humiliation of the 6-0, 6-0 doubles match, I resolved to get up at 6 am every morning for a one-hour drill session with a ball machine at the West Portal Playground court. I stuck to the routine and probably hit 150 x 2 x 5 = 1,500 volleys, and probably around 1,200 over the weekend. The best part was that I felt great throughout the day. I'm looking forward to my early mornings as I never have before. Today I skipped the routine because I pulled a muscle yesterday and felt sorry for myself in the morning, but no more excuses.
