Kaboom - Shobu ari
Well, I hit the gym with a vengeance. I started with a run, 5 miles @ 8:03 min/mile and then a mile sprint @ 6:12. I came back in for a bout of Insanity - The Asylum: Speed and Agility and then AbRipper X. I rounded out with lat pulls - 4 sets, 65 lbs with 4 second negative. Shoulder press - 4 sets, 55 lbs with 4 second negative. Ok, here's the corny ad -
But I tell you, that stuff does work.
I stopped into the office to wish people Happy New Year and found out that I will be the acting CO for the rest of the week.
Dad took us out to Morton's Steak House for a celebratory party. Evan and I both got the 6 oz filet with shrimp and scallops. I can't resist a good steak. I had the Bombay Sapphire Mortini too. Back near home, there was a massive block party too. So, I did a bit of gaming and then out for the countdown and some sparklers. I recently got this bebe one shoulder dress that I had to try out. Then, out came the Crown Royal. I'm a lightweight anyway and three shots had me three sheets to the wind. To top it off, some dude was giving me the 'hey baby' routine.
Today was pretty subdued. I hadn't drank that much in a while. :P I did a ton of yardwork and even powerwashed the house.
The following Sunday will be mochi pounding.
Here's a few pics from the recent shiai -
I am on the right. My opponent, who is 6'2", is making a head cut and I sidestep to deliver a Do/flank cut as he cuts air.
I am on the right. My opponent got too close and I stuck her with a tsuki/thurst to the throat.
I am on the left. My opponent had just made a head cut, which I parried with kaeshi and delivered a Do cut while she is winding up for another head cut.
In the below, I am again on the left. As my opponet makes a head cut, I sidestep to the left and make a kote/wrist cut.
