Blended Living

I came across this site a while back, but its gotten even better with them putting up more content in a creative commons license now.   All the lessons are now viewable online and downloadable as PDFs.  Enjoy!

• rediscovered tennis
• and after overindulging for about 9 straight days
• and some shoulder soreness
• the game is pretty much back
• looking forward to the next court time after a short vacation and hiatus from smacking that little yellow ball around
• finally bought and tried that nikeplus device on my Nano
• its bizarrely fun to hear that female voice tell me my distance or calories burned
• so despite the humidity I’m looking forward to some miles in the near future
• which should also help my tennis game
• assuming I don’t over do all of this and go stale or get injured
• as I’m trying to locate old CD’s
• and rip them to the little Nano
• ain’t technology fun?
• as  I wonder what Apple’s “Genius” will come up with as it digests my eclectic playlist
• and I throw in some of my kids’ music too just to make it interesting
• altho the Netflix algorithm does a nice job between my mysteries and their disney choices
• think the nike site will update via my syncs, so that will be interesting to see
• both in how they present my runs and data, and in how it may motivate me
• to reach for new running personal bests, or “PBs”
• tho I do try to resist such ego fulfillment and rather be fueled by ‘inner motivations’
• still its nice to commit to these ‘lifetime’ type endeavors, running, tennis, and walking
• as they feed into each other well
• teased myself a bit with yoga, but its not caught on in any serious way yet
• however I feel it will complement well my other activities
• “bing bong” another CD is done
• sleep has been more sporadic than I’d like but maybe this running will improve that too
• too many wants and hobbies, not enough time in each day
• but enthusiasm and passion isn’t lacking so its OK.
