Good to be home...

Last night was my first class back after being on vacation. My boys and I enjoyed cruising the Caribbean with family. I got up early and walked and or ran several miles several days. I also found time for some quiet meditation. I have never taken such a long vacation and it was refreshing and really nice to be totally disconnected for a while, even with the short break in Puerto Rico. I noticed emailed from Master Chelley regarding credits for Kukkiwon Cup and the King Tiger 5K, so those along with my other accomplishments since I last logged in have been logged in today. Thank you Master Evins for the credits! I’ll have to be more diligent about logging in and journaling.
When I came back home I repacked my suitcase to head to Chicago for work. This was my first visit to Chicago so I took the train downtown after I was done with what I came for and walked at least 7 miles. It was a beautiful evening for being outdoors. I started my day with some pushups, but didn’t do much else besides walk. It was really great to be back in class last night. It seems like I’ve been away for longer than I really have, but it’s nice to be home. I enjoyed going to the Knights game tonight with my husband. It was a down to the last out win with fireworks after. It made for a fun end to the crazy work week.
