Freaky Friday

 

It's finally Friday - which means rushing from work down to sparring class at North Charlotte.

Another busy day but this time I mostly snacked during the day because I didn't really have time for lunch.  At 5pm I gathered up all my gear and both of our jump ropes and headed down for class.  It was raining really hard partway through the drive and then mostly cleared up; it was very strange weather.

Tonight's class was a cranked up just a bit compared to last week but it was a good class.  Instructor Max does a good job keeping it lighthearted without losing focus and stressing important lessons without stressing out the class.  After all was said and done and we were packing up to leave and we got to watch him spar with Master Opey.  Then it was time to come home and eat dinner and finish up requirements for the day.  I know I'm behind on my mileage and I'm hoping that the three day weekend will help me put a dent in that.
