High fives

What to say, great weekend spent with a great team and second family. All went great and I think fun was had by all. Was nice to have so many black belts compete together and have some laughs along the way. I enjoyed performing and getting feedback from the competition, I honestly didn’t think I would place in the forms but was just a bonus I did. At one point I thought I messed up during my weapons form (joy of having two versions) but I guess it all worked out – again muscle memory takes over. Nice change having everyone together after the tournament and just talking amongst each other, I think those are the best times to bring us all together in a different frame of mind. Hope everyone had fun, great job everyone.

Nice long weekend

Winding down from the long weekend which really felt too short for some reason, could use another day or so off. Was nice to just spend time with the family today and get outside for a run this afternoon. Energy was a little low – must have been too much turkey last night. With the sun shining and leaves falling it was great getting out along the paths to smell the fall air and do some running meditation. Always end up stopping along my run to stretch at the top of hamburger hill and watch the city from the top, a different perspective is always nice from time to time. Hope everyone had a great weekend and didn’t eat too much turkey.

Brain....slow...

Honestly don’t seem to have much to say tonight, had some thoughts rattling around my head earlier today but are lost it seems. Nice to get in some solid work yesterday at open training and see more people out for the practise. I keep trying to push my daily routine adding a little here and there that needs work – right now it’s my kicks that need more attention. Nice to get in a few hours on the heavy bag and build off that these past few days. Not sure why I haven’t gotten in more over the past while but just know I need to focus on that for the moment. Guess it’s never too late to learn new things in life, like building custom kitchen cabinets your kids break, or how to mount a TV on the wall after they ahem break the first one…..kids…. always willing to show you the way to self-improvement.
