I am alive! And yes, still training!

Lots has been going on. Right now, I train from 5:30-8:00 in the morning with FP. We run, stretch, and do hardcore training. I then go to work, work a full shift, and go training again in the evenings, 7:30-9:30. So quite a bit of training! Have already seen the improvement in working with FP in the morning. He can focus on one-on-one coaching, which is a bit beyond awesome.

FP and I are also working on a martial art project. We've both become fully invested, and are spending quite a bit of free time on it. Hopefully I'll be able to tell you more about it once it's all laid out and we're closer to the date we're hoping to make it public. Looking at end of October! Gonna be hard pushed, but it's possible!

What will become difficult is for us to make time for just off-days, just fun days and messing about. We both want to train hard, and to work hard on our project, but he's also saying to be strict on having some us time. Fair enough, but I will find that hard. I feel useless and lazy if the day isn't filled with training and work!

In just under two weeks time a grandmaster is coming to visit us and give a week long seminar. There will also be a 8th dan with him. We'll be training twice a day for seven days. 10:00-13:00 and then 19:00-21:00 or so. I am excited for this! I have that week off work so I can devote my time to it, and the inbetween seminar times to the project! I also have the week after that off, so can focus on training and project for a solid week. So excited.

One of the things we worked on in morning training today was kicking head height. The awesome thing was that I could actually apply it when it came to the evening class! Improvement in one day, awwww motherflip yes. You get out what you put in. I keep getting damaged, but you have to press on. If it's not serious enough to seek medical advice, push on. Obviously listen to your body, too, but get outside your comfort zone! I bummed my foot up this morning, but I managed to land a twin flying side kick today! So proud!

Anyway, I'm pretty beat, so catch you all around!
