UNBRIDLED TRUTH

Clearly, I did not make it happen last week. I just can't seem to push my focus where I want it to be these days. Oh well, nothing to do but to try again. Monday   Muay Thai class It was head-to-head back-and-forth defense drills to start off the week again. If the guest kru keeps this pattern up, that would be a welcome trend. Even the awkwardness of doing those in a trio didn't stop me from having fun. Granted, the drills themselves had a couple of oddballs, as I expec

I really do want to get back to doing more with that Ironsworn Actual Play series, but I somehow keep getting distracted by other things, even after I did start on the next session. I want to make it happen again this week, because I do want to play more with Quinn, but sometimes, the brain does not cooperate.

I can read between the lines. Tuesday   Muay Thai class This was a volume day, to make up for the holiday on Monday disrupting the regular flow of things. We did a few rounds of smaller drills and then putting them together into a larger one, then eventually finished up with some high volume round kicks. It was a good grinder straight off of a bit of a break. Wednesday   Muay Thai class The guest kru was back to teaching for this day, and he was also back to having us do ra

Between the holiday on Monday and a work trip later on, I'll have my workout pattern disrupted this coming week. Maybe that'll be a good thing overall. Monday   Muay Thai class This was a typical Monday stamina class. We did lots of round kicks, including finishing with a couple drills of repeated round kicks mixed with push ups. I felt off mentally, and I think that was reflected in making a couple of atypical mistakes from loss of focus, but I was still getting good impa
