GO, GO , GO!

I had convinced myself that I would take it a bit easier this week as I spent a lot of hours training last week.  It's not happening.  I was at the kung fu school from just before 5 last night and left just before 10:00. When I finally climbed into bed last night the muscles in my legs refused to relax.  They felt extremely tensed up and almost like they were vibrating.  Luckily I did crash instantly and slept solid.  I was back at the school at 5 this morning with Sifu Masterston.  Again,  my legs were tense.  I came home and layed down at lunch and they were still pretty pumped.

Maybe I do need to rest a bit more, but I just want to keep going forward with all I have to do.  When my life gets real busy and I feel like I have way too much to do, I think of Sifu Brinker.  He has a full time job, he runs the kung fu school daily, and he takes care of his family.  This always gives me a bit more perspective and I feel less sorry for myself.  It's like that with the UBBT.  When I get feeling a bit tired or like it's too much, I always think of the athletes that compete at the Olympics.  They train hard ALL THE TIME!  So I don't feel so bad with what I have to do. I have always liked to push myself, and yes, I realize I have a hard time staying still.  A curse in some way, I suppose.  In other ways, a blessing.  But I absolutely do not like being  a quitter.

I am glad that so many people know what I am trying to accomplish here, even if they don't fully comprehend it.  This way, I have a lot of people to be accountable to.  My family is cheering me on all the way, and I really wouldn't want them to be disappointed.  I don't want to disappoint myself.  So, I keep going.  Some days, even if it feels like I need a rest.  I don't think I train all that hard anyways.  At least not as hard as I could.  Some days I train harder than others.  Engaged with my kung fu?  Yup, there are days that it feels more like a marriage.  :)  :)  And I mean that in a good way.  ;)
