Running

I ran for about 40 minutes, stopping ~15 minutes in at the park to check out the creek, and at about ~30 minutes in to bring in the garbage pails before I decided to do a quick lap around the neighborhood behind our house.

Hiking

We went hiking on some beautiful private land in Oneonta. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Jamie has grown quite a bit since I last hauled her around in her backpack, and the fact that there were no trails and lots of overhanging branches made it quite the adventure. We hiked around for about an hour in yet another attempt to find a place to call home. This place was beautiful, with a pretty stream, a small pond, and lots of woodland. If not for the backpack and the threat of buck season, we definitely would've explored more.

Table Tennis

Tuesday night table tennis was on in full effect tonight. We had 5 guys out tonight, with me still at the low end of the ability scale. I'm closing the gap - in hit-arounds and warm-ups I more than hold my own - but come game time I still get flummoxed by all the spin. It's ridiculously hard to get into any sort of rhythm when no two consecutive shots have the same spin on them.

Table Tennis

Now that the golf season is winding down, table tennis is starting back up. It was just me and Coach Alden last night which meant I got 2 straight hours of work with a pro. We worked up a pretty damn good sweat, practicing mostly ground strokes. We went from forehands to backhands to pushes to alternating strokes to serving with backspin and looping the return stroke. My biggest lesson of the night is that I tend to hit too far out in front on the forehand side and that if I can rotate my feet properly and hit the ball more in line with, or even behind my center line, I have far more control and power.
