double the fu
Well, last night I had options. It's nice to have options. But first the work part of things. I've had a paper I've been working on for the last 6 months or so, co-written with jsb. It has been hanging over my head, and I kept putting it off. Well, an actual deadline came, so I finally hunkered down at Peets and summoned my muse. And finished it. Before closing. So I had a free evening (psychologically at least). I ran into Larry (sifu) near Peets, and mentioned that I might come to class tonight. I've been taking time off from kung fu to try and rehabilitate my hip and knees. I started taking tai chi as I thought it would be easier on my body, and I've been wanting to find a good tai chi class anyway.
Anywho, walked back from Peets, changed into my tai chi stuff, then hopped on the bike to class from 8-9. Then back home, change my shirt, a quick yogurt (didn't eat dinner) and off to the gym for kung fu. It was good to be back, as I spent the last two years studying this style. But damned if my knee didn't start hurting after about 10 minutes of forms. The kicks are killing me. So sifu said, "don't do them...just kick low is at all." So everyone watch their ankles.
It was great to spar again. I felt like I had a new perspective on things after just 2 months of tai chi. And it is very different than tai chi...much more aerobic. After class we sat around and shot the sh*t (as we are known to do). Then back home around midnight. But I was starving. And craving something...um...well, let's just say less than healthy. So back on the bike for a late night run to Tommy's. But only chili cheese fries, not burger. After all, I'm all about the health food...
