Rest Day

After yesterday's excitement, I didn't feel like I could get on my bike first thing in the morning. Odd, and the weather gave me a nice excuse: when I was first thinking about whether I was gonna go for a long ride it was only 45 °F. So I would have needed many of my winter garments (and would have wanted to shed all of them by the time I got to work. Said F that and cleaned my chain, puttered around a bit and went in the short way.

Cycling

6 miles, at 14 mph pace.

Weight lifting

Rest day: no lifting.

Other Training

Was late for Karate and only got a chance to do sweeps a couple of times. Scott once again didn't show up for sword class. I don't think exercise is really his thing. That's okay really: it's not for everyone, though Shishou sort of intimated that we may be getting rid of the Qigong/Taiji class as we haven't had anyone show up to it in almost 6 months now. He did say though that he was going to turn it into an "advanced class", which sounds like it's going to be him beating on me and Kyle. I dig it: anything that makes me better/faster/stronger sounds good to me, and I can probably use some additional training on some of my weaker skills. No time like the present! Gungfu wasn't too strenuous, started out with some 4 corner jiing practice and then moved onto some ChinNa. Finished up with the beginnings of the Zhang Xi Zhe then called it a night.
