Great Day Yesterday

Went for a run with Nala, my beagle, in the morning. We chased some rabbits.  Knocked out some requirements. Interviewed my second living hero. Black Belt class was excellent. Master Evins broke down some of the turning kicks, which I really needed. Practiced the kicks in the pool afterward. It hurt less that way. Now I have to learn not to get dizzy so I can practice more of them on my own. Need to work on my falls and rolls so people are not so afraid of me getting hurt with self defense. Again the dizziness  is a problem when I practice rolls. No one can afford to get injured, so prevention and proper technique help. Unfortunately, my only near injury so far was when I tripped on my pants going up the stairs in my own house. Who trips going up the stairs??? I landed on my right knee. It hurt but it is not seriously injured. I would have been really bummed if I messed up my knee like that.
