Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo

Crazy long night. I actually tried jumping side kicks.
I don't jump.
No really...this white man doesn't jump.

It was bad, but I'm learning a new skill. We'll see.

Football

Again with the football. This time we ended up playing with a large group of guys who normally have a flag football league that they play in. Crazy stuff I tell ya. It was a lot of fun and, while my thighs were crazy sore when we started playing, it feels good to get out and move.
I can't believe I just said that.
heh

Position rolling. The butcher didn't completely maul me tonight. I did a good job.

Football

So I joined my new girl and her friends for an afternoon of football today.
Two hours of running around and yet I somehow managed to keep it up. I really don't know what happened. I totally expected to be completely whipped after about 45 minutes, but no...I was able to keep on going.
Don't get me wrong, I was tired as all hell...but yeah...I guess the running and the martial arts and the time spent in the gym...
Well, it's all having a positive effect.
So freakin great when you can see the results.

Go me.

Taekwondo

I'm now a green belt! :) Woohoo!
Testing was today. 2 hours of jumping around, sparring and showing what I can do.

Oh...and note to self...when sparring with a tiny little 9 year old...
All of that gear, including the mouth guard, means that smiling probably makes you even more frightening instead of less.
I thought maybe it would put him at ease.
Instead it made the look of fear that was already on his face revert to something more akin to sheer terror.
Poor guy.

Martial Arts

Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo, a little amazed that I handled both classes so well. Jiu jitsu was review of a few moves I already know and Taekwondo was still prepping for testing.

Taekwondo

Just getting ready for testing on Thursday.

Suzan G Komen

Today I did this.
I'm tired, and a bit sore...but I feel really good about it.
My first big run.
Managed in 54minutes.
That means that for a total of 3.1 miles, I averaged 17min 25sec per mile.

Not too shabby I guess.

Taekwondo

Back in class, earned my first stripe on Camo Belt, and finally feel comfortable with roundkick and two different front kicks.
I mean...really comfortable, like they are starting be a natural movement for me.
This is a good thing.
