inspiration to blog...
Since I seem to have completely forgotten to blog the past hundred times I went to karate, and then did it once and got 2 hits I thought I'd start posting about workouts.
Wednesday night was good, we did something sensei Hartman called "ten no sei"? Anyway, it was pretty cool. I liked the angular workout and a "small space" application for workouts. Basically, it was a workout that showed us how to practice karate if all you have is enough space to make a stance. It was really neat, and a good workout. The white belts had some issues discerning left from right, but fun and sweat were had by all. 2nd class was fun in that we worked on the receiving end of the one-time attack stuff for shodan test. Also quite neat.
This morning in my sleepy haze I asked my dad if he'd like to go for a bike ride. A few miles later, we were both drenched in puddles, sweat and morning fog... and then I had a pretty long day of work (and grumpy dad/brother interactions). I must say I appreciate what my mom does to buffer those two idiots down is so much more appreciated in times like this. I know she's helping my sister out in California but I selfishly want her back here.
On a lighter note, I cooked tonight and not only did I not burn stuff but I actually made a decent meal. Burgers for my brother and his friend, boca burgers for my dad and me, and rice/green beans/applesauce for all. Crazy.
