New YouTube Channel

So, I created a YouTube channel. I'm not at all interested in becoming a social media influencer, but was more so about having a place to store my videos, because I was running out of space. 

I won't be posting anything controversial or conspiracy theory related. It will be entirely related to fitness and exploring the outdoors. 

Eventually I'll go on some long bike rides and hikes in state parks, and the sunny desert scenery should look really good on camera. 

I will try to post at least one new video a month, but if I'm particularly active I might be able to manage one video a week. 

I did post some Amazon affiliate links, and I may post a donation button at some time, but either way, I'm doing it for the fun of it more than anything else. 

It's my second month playing tennis, in case you missed my first post about it you can read about it here, but I hadn't played for a couple weeks because the tennis court was being resurfaced. So this was my first time playing after a couple week break, and I think I'm getting better. I'm currently playing alone, hitting the ball against the wall, but I did play against one of my neighbors a few weeks ago, but forgot to move the camera, so the footage was not usable.

Anyway, this won't be becoming a tennis blog, and although I may write about it from time to time, this will most likely be the last tennis video I post here, but in case anyone is interested, just thought I'd let you know, and there will also be a link to the channel in the sidebar.

Playing Tennis

I've never been an avid tennis player, probably only played less than a dozen times in my entire life, the past two weeks included, but I have played a lot of badminton when I was younger, it was always my favorite sport. 

Anyway, I started playing tennis again. I guess it's like riding a bike, once you learn how to ride, you never forget. 

I filmed myself. This was taken last week. It was my second time playing tennis in the past week after not playing in almost ten years.

I'm putting this up here because I've decided to become a superior Olympic level athlete. Whether that means running ultra marathons or climbing mountains or riding my bicycle around the world, I want to document the process, so I'm starting here at the beginning.

It's raw footage. Unedited. If you like tennis, you might enjoy it. If not, well, you don't have to look at it. Either way, I'm putting it up here, because I like it and will enjoy watching it again.

I'll probably edit it down to a smaller size at some point, focusing on the highlights, and maybe create a YouTube channel, but for now I post the raw unedited footage here.
