Coughing and hacking. What a great way to start a season.
All lung infections aside, I can't believe a year has passed. I can remember the pain of my very first training session as if it happened yesterday. We all know that in the world of martial arts, there is always some pain. I welcome it now. Not only do I know when I am not getting enough protein in my diet, I know that I will hurt when I push myself beyond my perceived limitations. That is the good sort of pain. It's a measure of whether we are striving to work beyond what we think we can or can't do, which is why I look forward to falling on my rear end a couple of times as I learn how to do flying kicks. Some bruises in exchange for the day when I do my first flying side kick beautifully!
My best bud in the athletic world and in life, G. Dan (the man) has very nicely agreed to create a circuit workout for me. I am eagerly awaiting it!! There is no doubt that I will be puking, falling down on my face in exhaustion, and barely walking (moving??) , and yet I am looking forward to doing it on my off days.
I must be a glutton for physical punishment.
BUT
there will be a day (SOMEDAY), where my body will reflect the hard work I have been putting into it!
