day 16

Did not have a good night sleep in past 2 days, work related issues. Got to bed at 02:00 the past 2 days and I start feeling it. Hope to recover over the weekend and also Monday is a holiday over here in Japan.

Work was quick and I had to do some errands, enjoyed walking in the sunny very HOT Japanese day, the rainy season is over! ( I hate it when it is HOT, Humid, and rainy..)

I managed to get to the Dojo in time for the early class of Osawa sensei, He is the inspiration person on my blog. He is one of the top teachers in the Dojo, actually his father was also one of the great teachers of Aikido. He has a unique style of Aikido I would like to follow, a great teacher, and has a very positive and good energy. I try not to miss his class although is it for beginners, it is still good to go back to basics every now and then.

I considered to 2 classes, but was so drenched after the first one, i know i will not have the energy to do the PCP workout. So i cut home and done the workout.

I was about to write on it yesterday, but Patric e-mail today was on the spot. In yesterdays squats I got up to the point that my knees were still bent and not locked (did not jump into standing from the squat) and look and be hold it BURNED like hell. In today's rowing exercises I also kept the motion into a small and limited extension of the arms, although it did not burn hard it became very hard. I am excited and awaiting the daily workouts, I like it.

Tomorrow I will do morning class of Aikido and go to Yoga Garden in the afternoon to train with Patric. I hope I will survive.
