Movember
, that time of year when men have an excuse to attempt to grow a
mustache, all in support of a worthwhile charity. While not as much fun
as the charity where you go around in your underwear, it is a lot warmer
(important at this time of year). I am collecting on behalf of my team
at work in case you would like to donate. One lucky person will get my
secrets to growing an almost instant mustache.
Tonight
I am going back to class for the first time in a while, my back is not
perfect but is healed enough to gently start training. In discussions
with my wife about my training, I have realized that my lung issues have
been affecting my training in ways I did not think of originally. The
main thing that happens is I get hypoxic, but I don’t realize that I am
(my wife can see the indicators easily though). So what happens is that
as my blood-oxygen levels drop, my coordination starts to go, and I get
clumsy. Also, my memory doesn’t work as well either. So if I do several
forms at full intensity, I have problems with lots of little things that
if I am working with normal oxygen levels are not an issue. This is
something I will have to watch for, and ask for breathers as required.
If the warm up is actually a cardio workout, it can take 20 minutes or
so before my mind is working properly again, and depending on the lesson
I might be home before everything returns to normal. As there are a
number of people in the Kwoon with asthma, I am probably not the only
one that is affected this way
