Kung Fu Weekend

It was a great kung fu weekend last weekend!  I spent a lot of time at the kung fu school, starting with teaching the fitness class at 11:00 on Saturday, and then open training.  I am really enjoying the open training!  Lots of people are coming out and everyone gets along so well, and has a lot of fun together.  We laugh and learn.  After open training, I hung around by myself till 4:00

On Sunday, I packed up my kayak, my bike, rope dart, tai chi notes, and personal journal, and drove out to Lake Chickakoo.  I was there by 10 in the morning.  I started with a kayak ride out on the lake for over an hour.  Then I found a grassy spot overlooking the lake, and sat and soaked up the sun.  For the next 3 hours I journaled and wrote out my tai chi onto recipe cards, and meditated.  It was so peaceful there and quiet.  I ended my time there with an hour bike ride through the trails. 

It wasn't exactly in the mountains, but it was away from town.  I was able to work on a few of my requirements while doing so: my biking,  journalling,  tai chi, and meditaion  I got home just in time to change and meet my friend at the gym.  There, I biked for another hour covering 30km.  While on the bike, I spread out my recipe cards of 'Mastery', and memorized.  I got most of it, and just need to keep it up so it stays fresh in my mind, and complete the memorizing of the last 3 of the 8 recipe cards.

It was awesome!  I spent time with friends, which I love to do, I got lots of kung fu work done, AND I got to spend time away from town, on a beautiful peaceful lake.  What more could I ask for.  hhhhmmmm. . . . . perhaps a longer summer.
