Day 355: Snow???

I know I am really suppose to talk about exercise and stuff, but really....snow in November? Ugh!

I am such a wuss when it comes to cold weather....

Okay, onto the actual topic.

Tonight in Kung Fu class we were learning how to defend against kicks. The defense requires us to use our legs in the same way we use our arms against a punch....meaning we block it!

So, at one point Steve and I were practicing - he kicked and I defended. Steve was wearing pads; not to painful. Then we switched. Steve was wearing pads, but for some reason when I kicked and he defended the pads did not cover the area of the leg we were hitting.

It hurt so bad.

I am striving to not shout out in pain every time I get hurt. Trying to set a good example for my children. In the process of trying to suppress the urge to shout out in pain, I also had to suppress the urge to ask Steve to stop defending so well.

This caused a giggling fit. I had this image of a bad guy asking the victim to play a little nicer because the victims defense was hurting them.

Getting the giggles was actually a good thing....I managed to get through my required number round of sparring with Steve. Still, I will probably have some good bruises tomorrow.

Happy Walking!
