132...ish

Whew! The website for my goal is back online. So that is good news.
It looks like I didn't break a rib after all just really hurt the tendons/ligaments under the rib. Jeff says it take time to heal...boo.


Last week I did have a decent workout on Thurs., Sat not so much...hitting bag just bothered me. Did lots of balance work and other stuff.  It kinda reminded me of when I got back about being sick just doing this and that and watching class.  


This weekend we had promotions in Peabody and the kids did good.  It exciting to be part of their success.  Movie night on Friday also went well.


Also caught a cold YUCK.  Guess when it rains it pours.   Today, I still plan on going to Karate, but probably not wrestling as I'm still hurt. Just do what I can. Promotions are coming up.  My overall goal was blue...but the more I think about it my goal should be 4 tips. With reaching blue in Sept/Oct.  I would feel more confident about that...but we'll see.  One day at a time.

MUCH better classes today.


Last night, I went to class knowing I probably couldn't do much but did what I could.  Teaching today went really well and that was relief.


Rib is feeling better, though not 100% it is tender still


Day by Day.

Been 'off' for a couple of weeks.  Mostly due to work, being put in several small projects I know nothing about is straining. 

Have got in a couple of good work outs and overall things feel ok.

Last night we did our JuJitsu time (wrestling) and really hurt my rib. Really don't think its broken as the pain is a constant dull and seems like it'd hurt worse. Then again I don't know much about broken bones. I've only broken one - my little toe and Jeff had to tell me it was broken. It hurt and it was purple but thought it'd hurt worse.   Even if it were broken, there isn't much anyone can do. So, I can continue to train just probably won't be getting hit there any time soon.

The website for the Warriors Cup (in 137 days) is down and it has me a little worried but either way I still have my goal. I'll contact them in July AND I know of other events that will probably happen around that same time frame.

Yesterday was a very trying day for me as teaching did not fare well at all. It was very frustrating and discouraging.  I really don't really get a workout but did work a little in the last class. I am feeling it from the workout on Tues.

Training went good yesterday. Felt good.

Also recently learned (in general) the Wai Kru. I learned from video and it didn't take very long.  I attribute that to learning all these Kata. So now I need to get the flow down, and work with Jeff on the specifics.  I'll also need to practice it to the music.  

So glad I've learned it, and now when I fight hopefully I can perform it.

Just when I think that my punching is at a plateau, it reaches another level.  don't get me wrong, i've been happy with how i hit for awhile now and been just trying to add other elements. along the way i've also found more heights. very cool. 


My kicks are getting there, slowly but surely. Hopefully they just 'get it' soon. I'm patient and know it will come.


For the next 6 weeks, I've asked that every Monday to do wrestling with the Karate kids. this will help me in the strength arena.  I need to be doing other stuff too. 


I'll get there....one day at at time.

Training this week went pretty well. Was able to make it to all classes, and worked hard.  Feeling pretty good.
