Still on the road
The Alberta Prairies are beginning to rub off on me. I rolled over the top of the hill and looked over the gorge of layered rock known as Drumheller. Yup, still here in the land of the Dinosaurs and am really liking the region. I am really feeling the distance from the Kwoon however. Kind of like getting unplugged, or cut off from the Kung Fu mothership.
I have been trying to keep up with what I can control, including my pushups and situps and repetitions. I am glad I have chosen the nunchuks to learn as it is doable in the hotel room, although a little cramped. Swinging a spear or sword around the place would just get costly. I have cut back on training somewhat, as it comes down to what is more important, food and sleep for health, or running and Kung Fu practice. Keeping up with work, the associated paperwork, equipment cleaning and maintenance and training, and eating properly without a means to prepare your own food, is always challenging.
I did get home for a day or two and got a class in. I also took the chance to take my son fishing. Two things that did me well. In any case, I hope to get back to the Kwoon sometime. Until then....
Vince.
