Back to school
Slowly slipping back into school mode. I'm waking up at 6:30 am (but still going to bed at 12 -got to fix that).
My Mom got me a light box for Xmas since she worries about me being affected by SAD in the Winter. So I'm sitting next to it this morning trying to rewire my circadian rhythms. Awfully BRIGHT for this early in the morning.
We finally got back to iai last night after 3 weeks off. It was nice to see everyone again and to swing a sword around.
Our group keeps growing. A year ago we only had 7 members. With a new member joining us this session, I think we are up to about 14 students now (4 of those students are women). With the promotion of the two senior students to assistant instructors, I am the second most senior student (gasp)! The gym barely has enough room for all of us to practice now.
Everybody was complaining about being sore during practice last night after the long break but it didn't bother me. I guess the weekly kickboxing sessions helped with that. The only thing that is sore with me today is the back of my right hand. That is a new one for me.
Getting old SUX.
We have all member training in Lansing this Saturday so the new iai year is starting of with a bang for me :-)
