Another cool week. We've continued our super intense stretching and I'm still improving, though I am getting more and more sore. I know it'll just take time and perseverance before it gets a little easier. We also started learning Dragon Sword! It's a totally AWESOME straight sword form that I've been dying to learn for what seems like forever. I imagine my classmates were getting tired of having the exact same conversation all the time:

me: What do you think we'll learn next?

them: ummmm, I dunno, maybe spear or something........

me: I hope it's dragon sword! I mean I guess anything is good but dragon sword would be amazing. What do you think the chances are of us learning it next? Oh man, that would be so great! It's just so cool.....etc, etc.

Well now the time has finally come and it's every bit as cool as I thought it would be....maybe even more so! I'm really enjoying learning it, it's taking my mind off the pain in my hips and legs.

yay!
