That will happen at times, eh?

6-14-10

Aikido: 10:00 am - noon. We worked on some flowing/fluidity drills, and then worked them into some applications. From there, we moved to some transition work. Finished class with some paired jo work.

TKD: 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Forms night. Got to review some colored belt forms I had not done in a while, and my 2nd dan black belt form. Did well for not doing them in a while. During the last 10 minutes of class, we did some one-steps, but we actually did a bit of progression with them into some more self-defense related applications. This was very nice to see, and I hope we get into more of it.

Aikido in the morning, and TKD in the evening....that's a pretty good day!

6-15-10

Back on the treadmill today. I made my mile in 11:12, and did 1.33 in 15 minutes. It just didn't feel good today, either.

TTA hi orange belt form and one-steps.

ATA yellow belt form and one-steps. I did two sets of these. Had to dig up The Way, V. III to get a refresher.

Stretch. Flexibility is starting to feel good again.

today-

No timeto work out. Luckily it was because of a range day. Qual shoot, combat course and force on force. Always a good day and I got to work with my new Kimber. Worth every penny.

first time to BJJ yesterday since having this nasty sinus infection. Worked on countering a sprawl by taking the back, then 60 min roll. My muscles fatigued within 20 min, and I gassed about ten min after that.

I do not know what is worse getting sick or your body recovering from being sick.
