I felt like a weasel after not going to the a.m. workout yesterday so I went on a bike ride on the rock island trail--and did again today. So I clocked 25 miles this weekend. It was pretty good. I think I'm going to pay for it later, but I'm not sure how. Maybe just that it's 10 p.m. and I'm still hungry? Oh well. I'll figure out something ( Read more... )

the workout this morning was a much-needed stress relief after this weeks' aggravation... I was so glad to work out and really get a chance to blow off some steam. Today I went through katas with Garls and oedewalt, and did some shifting/sparring exercises with dalcher and mccabe ( Read more... )

Since I seem to have completely forgotten to blog the past hundred times I went to karate, and then did it once and got 2 hits I thought I'd start posting about workouts ( Read more... )

Saturday morning was a bit lonely--worked out until 8:30, when I was joined by Oedewalt-san. We went through the katas up past where I am familiar and into the quite vague/hazy memory katas I've done once or twice. It ended up being a pretty good workout.

This past few days I've been reveling in my first days of sleeping in since December, and getting all my stuff together to move back home. My parents gave me a nice surprise for graduation--I get to visit my sister for her recital on Saturday in California ( Read more... )

Just a shout-out, seeing if anyone else is sore??

Well, I finally showed up for a Saturday morning breakfast club. I brought my friend Gary, who is a member of the IWU karate club--he seemed to enjoy the workout ( Read more... )

So the last post I wrote said I had 25 days until I graduate--now it's 6 DAYS!!! Sunday is going to be awesome. I can't wait, and yet it's very strange to me to be starting a new part of my life soon ( Read more... )

...until I graduate! Whoa. But let's not get too excited yet--I still have 2 projects to finish before I can even pretend to be old.

So I have 12 more pages to write for my research paper and I have to transcribe this Brahms piano sonata for the orchestra to play in 2 weeks.

Then it's celebration time.
