Finding my Rhythm

The PMAA class was good yesterday. I'm just trying to learn my basic stick forms. The rotunda and that advanced stuff is beyond me right now. I love how working with the sticks makes you stay in the moment. If you just pause and think, "hey, think I got this," then you miss a beat and mess up. Loved working with the knife. Disarming and taking them down is my favorite part. Wanted run, planned to run yesterday, but the cold wet air was not great for my lungs.

The puppy and I walk/ran today. Breaking in my new shoes. They feel different. they have changed my stride, for the better, I hope. Walked more than I ran because Nala kept wanting to sniff things and we kept seeing neighbors and other dogs Nala wanted to greet. I might have to leave Nala home next time. I thought running would be the hardest part, but I actually enjoyed getting out and running in the greenway....relieved a lot of work stress knocking around in my head. The jump rope and burpees are not easy. I'm going to do as many burpees as I can at the Dojang. They hurt on my floors.

Got in some requirements today, probably more before the evening's over. Love Master Evin's little encouragement posts on the facebook page. I'm trying to get into a rhythm. Some days are better than others. Next week I'll be a white belt, since Master Evins will be out of town. It'll be interesting, since I feel like a white belt in every Black Belt class.
