Ugh

Not much to say this post. Progress with the meteor hammer has been pretty slow. I am having a hard time being consistent. Even when I think I have a technique down I'll still mess it up 1/4 of the time. I'm hoping that will go away with more practice. Right now basically all of my practice time is at the kwoon on Fridays and Saturdays, which isn't that much. It will be nice when I can start practising outside. I was sick for most of the weekend which was a downer.  Friday during class I felt like I was fighting to throw up most of the time. Not quite a 100% yet but I am feeling better. Hopefully next week goes better.

Sneaky Pushups

My car and computer are fixed! Its much nicer typing this out on a keyboard instead of a phone. A little less than a week ago I discovered a private area at work that I could do push-ups and sit-ups in. It's in our electrical/server room. While I was investigating, our IT guy spotted me and asked me what I was doing. I confided that I was looking for a private out of sight area to do some exercises. He seemed intrigued and gave me permission to use the room. Now its our little secret, I asked him not to tell anyone without my permission.

The floor was filthy so I brought a yoga mat and laid it down for the sit-ups. Whenever I need a break from the desk I wander over to my secret room to do some push-ups. So far its really been helping the numbers. I've been getting 200 done a day at work alone! I'm still a bit behind but I'll catch up in no time at this rate. I'm really happy I managed to find a good place, its the only place in the entire building that has a door that isn't locked or a common area.

Annoyances

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks. My computer still isn't fixed so this is yet another entry from my phone. I decided to wait until today for this blog so I could use my work computer. Turns out that the version of internet explorer we are forced to use is so out of date that I can't get blogger to load properly and I cant write anything. So that was a wage of time.

I brought my car into the shop today to have it checked out. Turns out I need all new rear brakes and I have a broken spring. So I'm not driving my car until the spring is fixed. I am going to call around to some wreckers tomorrow and see if I can find something. If not I have to order from Toronto and the soonest they'll get her is Friday. Meanwhile I'm relying on rides. I might just rent a car. Going to be an expensive week.

Hurt my shoulder last week and couldn't really get any push-ups done. It's feeling better now so I'm back at it, still can't do as many in a row as usual without feeling a bit of pain. I stayed for the San Shou class on Friday which helped pad the sparring numbers. That class is great for getting the sparring rounds in.

Sorry for the whiny post. Things have just been getting to me lately and I felt like venting. On a brighter note I finally feel like I'm starting to get the hang of the meteor hammer! I made some good progress at Fridays class.
