A work in progress

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Fort McMurray and not in the kwoon training.  It seems like such a long time ago that I had any consistency in my training.  It seems all that I can do these days is get a couple of days of training at the kwoon before I'm called away by work. It's not the ideal situation but I'm trying to take it in stride as best that I can. 

I'm looking at this as an opportunity to train differently.  I'm training on my own and am getting my form reps in.  I have even started to run (anyone that knows me knows how I hate this!) every couple of days I to try and get some cardio in.  In the past I would have become very frustrated with this and would be in a very low place.  However this time around this isn't bothering me near as much as it used to.  Now I am looking at things differently, I am looking at the opportunity that is in front of me. 

The one thing that I still struggle with is sharing what I'm doing.  I have a hard time with as I'm a very private person.  I always felt that what I do with my life is for me and me only.  I'm now realizing that my failures and or successes affect those around me such as my family and my team mates.  I am starting to realize that by sharing these things with others is making me a better person.  A work in progress.

Can't wait to see everyone!

  1. I feel your pain. I think it's been over a month since I've been to class.
