I’m sore. I had my tennis lesson on Wednesday and then had a workout at the gym with the trainer. Can anyone say anaerobic metabolism, Kreb’s cycle and lactic acid? If not, then just google it.

We went over the different grips, semi-Western is what I prefer, but I wanted to see what it would be like to have a full Western grip (like Rafa Nadal). It’s too much for me.

I’m also wondering about this kinesio tape? Has anyone ever tried it before? I’m pondering whether I should use it for my elbow. My orthopod told me that the pain in my elbow should go away in a year and a half. It’s pretty close to 1 1/2 years since my fracture and surgery and I still have a lot of pain. Kerri Walsh covers her serving shouder and it seems to serve her well.

I’m starting to wonder if 2008 is not a good year for Roger Federer. I mean I’m a patriotic American and I like James Blake and everything. But Federer losing to Blake? Sounds like a “things that make you go hmmm” kind of thing. I can even understand Venus Williams losing to Li Na. Homegirl has other things going on in her life. Maybe Federer needs to grow out his hair again and keep it in a ponytail. Like Sampson. Although I don’t know if Sampson wore his hair in a ponytail.

So these are the ramblings at 9:42 PM from this wanna-be tennis star. Try to stop yourself from laughing.

And before I forget….Happy Birthday India.
