Ahhh Spring

This last week has definitely been a nice change. Warm weather hitting double digits, so nice. My whole neighbourhood is coming alive with activity as everyone gets outside and starts on their yardwork and flowerbed prep. I especially enjoy the longer daylight hours. Being able to walk Doogie at 8 pm and still be light out is so nice. I always feel myself becoming more alert and active as spring becomes a reality. Mowing the lawns, racking the leaves, watering the garden are chores, but chores I enjoy doing. I have started running 3 or 4 days a week again. It is so nice to be able to run without all the ice and slush. My knee is thankful I know. It actually is feeling pretty good with just the occasional bit of discomfort. I am continueing to wear my brace running, just to be on the safe side. It is still crazy busy around my household but that is the norm lately. I spent this past Saturday with Shelby at open training. She is practising every day, so proud of her. Her Da Mu Hsing is coming along nicely and we went over her red stripe combos. It has been along time since I did any of the white bely curriculum. Something I should do more often as it is the base of the pyramid and without a solid base you are just creating a wobbly pyramid. I am striving hard to achieve my blue belt. Its definitely a big step in my journey. Time to walk the dog, think I'll run him a bit tonight, good for him and me.
