For the last couple Thursdays, I’ve had the opportunity to
go all out with my training… working in the park during the morning, moving
into the coulees for the afternoon, then heading to the dojo for the evening. Not
so today. I have meetings in the afternoon, so am forced to cut the coulees out
of my routine, though I’ll probably make up for it on the weekend
Anyway… our nights are getting longer and colder in Alberta.
Woke up to a decent chill this morning. We’re entering into the second to last
lunar cycle of our summer season, and I’m very conscious of the approaching
winter. There are some things I’d like to accomplish over that cold seven moons.
This morning I started taking some baseline measurements to assess where I’m at
with several physical abilities, so I could set some goals to achieve over the
winter. So far, this is what I have in mind:
Quit Smoking Cigarettes (a no-brainer)
Be Able To Do A Set Of Ten, Clean One-Legged Squats On
Alternate Legs While Holding A Front Kick
Be Able To Throw A Side Kick Slowly And Cleanly Above The
Ninety-Degree Angle And Hold It There For Thirty Seconds
Make Serious Progress On The Splits
Be Able To Do A Set Of Ten, Clean Pull-Overs
Be Able To Perform The Human Flag
