Sore

There's a misconception that people who do this bodywork type stuff are always on top of their game and cruising through the day.

In reality, I'm sore almost every single day in some random part of my body. I don't mind anymore. It's a nice reminder that I really worked hard the day (or two days) before.

Today my lats are aching, and my lower back is feeling very tender around the lumbar. Not sure what exercises got me these sore spots but it's just another day in the life.

Sometimes I'll be walking around and realize, "Hey, I'm not sore anywhere in my whole body! What a great feeling!" Reminds of Thich Nhat Hanh's exhortation to enjoy all those days you get to experience "no toothache".

Off to workout. Day 18!

Yo P Where You At?

This is the question everyone's been asking me. Why aren't I blogging my Kung Fu Body experience? The truth is I ran out of bandwidth in the first two weeks having a wedding reception, getting everyone else set up, and getting the new Kung Fu Body site up and running. But everything's running smoothly now and I have the chance to sit down and process the first two weeks of the KFB!

So, first impressions. This works! I thought it would work but it's been gratifying to hear from others that the mix of strength, agility and stretches is giving them that complete workout feeling. I've had a lot of people tell me how fun it is to work through the exercises. That's not something I ever get to hear from PCPers!

Anyway, I'm back in my own home and in the groove now, so there will be lots more sharing as we go on! Thanks for joining us on this journey!
