Friyea!

I was thinking about my old training partner Joe today and how he always used to say "Happy Friyea" on Fridays. I hadn't seen him in a while, so I was happy when he walked in the door for BB class tonight.  I left work early today and rucked almost 4.5 miles with a 20 lb. pack. There wasn't enough time to nap before class, so I picked up my boys and then ran back home for a shower and a Ghost energy drink.  The Ghost woke me up but also left me hyper during class - too much caffeine. Class was great though; Master Natasya led us through several of the weapons forms. Now I'm crashing so it's off to bed. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's training and the self-defense seminar in the afternoon.
