Awesome Day

Started out with a regular check up with a new PCP. When she suggested that I should exercise more, I informed her that I practice Tae Kwon DO and I had done 25 sit ups, 25 push ups and 150 kicks prior to the 9 AM appointment and that I planned to run a mile after my class today. You should have seen her jaw drop. Don't assume that just because I'm overweight, I'm not exercising. Then I told her my peak weight in 2012. I think she will work out just fine, now that I have reoriented her away from the computer and the routine assumptions.

Although I planned to go to sparring class, I missed it because of my appointment. Black belt class was awesome. I liked being outside. Mrs. Neelima and I had fun learning the staff form. She is very non violent and I had her laughing about poking them in the eye with the staff and hitting them in the head with the staff. If anyone dares mess with anyone as sweet as Mrs. Neelima, I want her to be able to beat them in the ground.

Thanks to Instructor Dege for working with me on the last half of Koryo. Grateful to all who patiently show me the same things over and over until the penny finally drops and I get it. 

When I got home, I went right back out to run. Poor Nala, my puppy, looked so disappointed when I did not take her. When I got back, I took her on a long walk (6+ miles today). 

Now I hurt. Leg cramps are no joke. I forgot how dry cold air can be. I needed to drink more. I've medicated myself with tylenol and topical pain meds. Still...a very satisfying day.
