Perfectly Timed Thunderstorms
I mysteriously hurt my wrist two days ago, so I opted to stay home from tonight's class since I had a sneaking suspicion we would be practicing the dragon again. I did not have a sneaking suspicion that we would be throwing flying kicks against the hanging bags. I. Love. Flying. Kicks. All the jealously at not being able to do them with the class got directly funneled into excitement to do my practice kicks à la the fitness test. Now normally I do these kicks at the end of the night, and more often than not, quite late at night, (see my last blog post) so I'm normally pretty tired before I even start. (I try to rationalize this by saying, I'd be tired from the rest of the fitness test at that point to so this just adds a layer of realism to the practice). But tonight, I was amped up from the start and I noticed something. 1) I went into the kicks with the mindset of "I saw people throwing some good kicks tonight, I want to throw really good kicks tonight too" ...
