Another really long week is over.

After our Chinese New Year break we had an eight day training week again which concluded with our performance day yesterday. Overall the week went relatively well and was only moderately hard which I appreciated a lot. The performance went smoothly too, Shifu seemed mildly pleased with our progress since the last time.

I mentioned that we were learning a slower form called Tai Yi Wu Xing Chuan and this particular form is quite challenging for the ankles, knees, and hips. I've learned it before and it's a lot of fun but my left knee is acting up and since I don't remember injuring it at all, I'm pretty sure it's just from the repetitive training. I went to get an acupressure massage yesterday and hopefully that helps along with a day off. I'm also starting to come down with a cold so I bought some medicine this morning and hope to avoid the worst of it. sigh. I'm really quite tired when it comes down to it. Hopefully I feel better soon.
