Taking a quick break from getting my brain, body, and environment ready for Saturday to look beyond my coming sho-dan exam. There are things I've been wanting to do, but I'm kind of living in risk-avoidance mode lately. The idea of pulling a muscle or spraining a joint doesn't stop me most of the time, but right now it would be really inconvenient. After Saturday, though... Here are some things I'm looking forward to trying in the coming months:
  • Learning to surf, with my friend Karen (whose brilliant idea is was). How did I grow up in Pacific Beach and not learn to surf?
  • Trail running. I am not a runner, by nature, but for some reason that's been calling to me for a while now.
  • Snowboarding, maybe. No specific plans to go, but I've always wanted to try it.
  • Strength training. Yeah, I've been doing my PT exercises and swinging a kettlebell a little, but I want to get a little more serious about it.
  • Going to the local trampoline place - wall-to-wall trampolines - and playing. Who's in?
  • Working more on suwari-waza and hanmi-handachi-waza (techniques from a kneeling position). I've been enjoying training in those, but don't dare overdo it.

And nothing to do with risk - I've just been busy with other things:
  • Gardening. The yard is starting to green up with recent rain, and more on the way. Perfect time to tidy up, and get the raised-bed veggie garden ready for planting.
  • Finish some house projects. OK, not really looking forward to doing those, just looking forward to putting them behind me.
  • Writing. There are some books that need to be finished and turned loose on the world.
  • Getting my business going - Reconnecting Ourselves - and beginning to lead group programs to get people moving, and get them connected to their own bodies.

More than anything, though, I'm looking forward to being in class on Monday night and just training.

An interesting follow-up... The morning after posting this I had a feed delivery (food for Clementine, our donkey). The delivery guy explained he was moving a little slow - he'd been to a trampoline park the night before and messed up his back. Later that afternoon one of the parents from the kids' class mentioned her other kid had been to a party at a trampoline place and kind of overdid it - very sore that day. I guess I wasn't being paranoid to avoid that before my exam! :-)
