After slacking off for a month and a half, I’m back in the gym. Nik and I lifted light and did only 15 minutes of cardio. It was a good first day back.

I didn’t make any resolutions this year, but I have committed to CIC 2 in late May, and I’m going to a fencing pedagogy retreat this weekend. I’m psyched about learning more about how to teach.

I haven’t been excited about fighting for a little while now, but I’m starting to feel that fire rising up in my belly. I’ve booked tournaments and other events up to halfway through this year. I can’t wait (but I’m glad I have time to prepare).
