Of course this blog is going to be about yesterday's fitness evaluation. As always, it was tough, grueling, sweaty, but also enlightening, gratifying, and dare I say, fun. No I didn't do as good as my ego said I would but I also took an awful lot away from it. The talks both before and after by the instructors, as always, had golden gems of wisdom that will help in ways yet realized by me. Every time I go through one of these evaluations, I learn a little about myself, and yesterday was no different.
To use Sifu Brinker's analogy (I am paraphrasing), sloth or kangaroo, not everyone is the same. So I will endeavor to be the best sloth I can be, not worrying about what the kangaroo is doing.

I will tweak my trajectory just a wee bit to the needed direction and hopefully make the progress that I am sorely needing. Mostly my kicks.

It's funny how sometimes you are on a path that you think is the one that serves you best, the someone comes along and nudges you a little this way or that saying "if you like this route, you'll love this route, trust me". So you take that first step on your new path, trusting the wisdom and intentions of that person, and.....
