Second karate class for the year, first for the Friday group (I train with the Monday and Friday groups). Keeping up my training away from karate is definitely paying off. We did hopping sidekicks today and I was surprised at how well my knees held up (had an ACL reconstruction in my left knee back in 2005). Although it was muggy again in the training venue, I felt reasonably fresh and still had plenty left in the tank by the end of class. The legs are feeling a touch heavy now, but I’m sure I’ll feel well recovered tomorrow. It’s nice to train hard but recover quickly as well :)

EDIT: Oh, I also forgot to mention that I just created a webform using Google Docs, so I can easily log my training. As I enter data in, it gets stored in a spreadsheet that I can access at any time, or save to disk for future analyses :) I used to have a similar set up with Zoho Apps, but didn’t like how it looked so I abandoned it. I am very fussy about interfaces…Google Docs’ form themes aren’t much better, but at least I have options!
