First, congratulations & best wishes to my kung fu brother & sister, Marlon & Leesha, who were married Friday night. Two of the best people I've ever met.
Kung fu in general draws good people from all walks of life. It draws its fair share of kooks and frauds too, but the folks who tend to last are people of genuinely good character. Hell, even if they don't stay with it, people try it out because they look for a positive experience. Most of my close friends I met, either directly or indirectly, through martial arts.
I'm giving the knees a rest today. Since last year I put on about ten pounds -- okay fifteen, but I dropped five pretty quickly by laying off the ice cream. And I've got a little extra time on my hands these days. So I've increased my workouts and added about 6 miles a week of jogging to the schedule. But it's clearly time for new shoes; even though the mileage is pathetically low my knees immediately got cranky. Working out yesterday, low stances were just agony so after a few attempts I gave up on them completely and just worked on upper-body stuff. One of these days I'll admit that I'm no longer 19. Probably when I'm dead.
