Just seen I haven't posted for nearly a week! Its been a bit of a blur to be honest, after the Easter weekend work was pretty hectic (as usual) and last Friday I flew off to see my Dad with the kids to Ireland, leaving Shelly at home :(
It's been a great weekend, the weather has been fantastic and I must have put on 1/2 stone with all the wonderful meals that Rosie has made!
Training during the week was a bit choppy, got to a Tuesday night and did my breaking, so I have my baseline to work from to raise my turning kick (up to sternum height) Thursday night ended up being an open session as the only people who turned up where myself, Kelly, Callum and Rich. Was a bit disappointing but thinking about it Easter hols are still on so no wonder most people weren't available. As it was just a couple of us I took advantage and concentrated on the kick again, got to start applying some power to the turning kick at a much higher height. I was pretty chuffed actually as I started to really get a solid hit.
Just typing this in bed at my Dad's B&B about to get up to do my morning exercises and then start to get ready to get back home this lunchtime, missing the missus and looking forward to a birthday treat, CURRY!
Yesterday was my 39th birthday so another year on and the last I can say I am in my 30's! Probably another quick week at work and hopefully I will get in Tuesday and Thursday night training. I'm hoping there are a few more attendees on Thursday as I need a good boost to re-energise myself after the last few weeks of easy living, already noticing that the weight is slowly creeping back on and disappointed, but understanding, that the muscle tone I was getting before the black belt grading is going away. This is only going to get worse until this left hand is fully healed so that I can hit the gym again, another 3-4 weeks!

Belated Happy Birthday! I'm hitting the last of the 30s myself in a few months' time, so I can guess what you must be feeling.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been reading your blog for a while hence the lack of comments. Sorry to hear about your broken ulna; thank goodness for modern medicine! Think of it as a sort of status symbol - "been there, done that, broke the bone" :-)
