Since everyone in my Krav class has tested to one level or another and we have less than a month of classes ahead of us, the next six classes will be “play” classes.

Last night we did some relays involving carrying heavy punching bags (indoors) and then went into the alley to do some scenarios that were kind of a hybrid of flag football and capture the flag. It was a hell of a workout and generally a good time. I may have pushed a little harder than I should have, so I iced my shoulder when I came home.

I’m gearing up for Magna Faire this weekend. I’ve barely fenced since Serfo. I’ve been ill or in a slump so much since then, and I’m hoping that being around my friends will help me get some of my enthusiasm back. I want to want to fence. Does that make sense? I go to fencing, and I think I want to fence, but I get there, and I just can’t give my best fight. I’m hoping that a couple days of rest will get me back to myself on Saturday.
