Workout Log 012
I do mean where WE are gong, and not just where I am going. This is a fairly recent milestone in my journey.

I was quite slow in learning.

98 Days Out from the Charolette Cup
Today was the last recovery workout for this week. Even though this week was only full of easy stuff, I still woke up this morning sore in a few places that I haven’t been using in a while. The picture above is a perfect example. It was taken after my tai-chi session this morning. I decided to do tai-chi in the garage because it is flat. It did make me a bit less wobbly than I was yesterday. Still, I couldn’t gracefully move into and out of the low squat position shown in the pic above. In fact, my knee strength and balance won’t even allow me to get to a 90 degree bend in the support leg without bending way to far forward. I have the flexibility to do it, but through neglect it seems that I’ve lost the necessary strength and balance. I was forced to do a static pose for the pic. As soon as the camera snapped, I fell right on my butt. Message received. I will have to work on getting this function back.
