Last night, it was a nice down poor outside,  I've been doing some walking and then forms in the park near my appartment and lastnight, duing the middle of my walk it started raining.  I knew that it was coming so I already had on my rain suit that I use for golf, in someways it's pefect for MA in the rain as well, it's desgined to allow the body to move with jepordizing the swing and it flows with the body.  Back to the topic on hand, it was nice to wokr out in the rain, it kind of washed things out my mind for a little bit at least, a kind of purifying the soul type of thing, I felt good after the workout. 

I can't believe how much I'm struggling with Toi-gye, I've only had one class, but I'm usually able to pick things up well and if I struggle on my own, a book usually helps jog the memory. But I think with so much different technique and the uniqueness of the pattern is throwing me off, the w blocks and turning the wrist part keeps triping me up.  Tonight I have class and I'm hoping to be able to pull a side my instructor or asst. instructor to help me through the form.

The sad part about classes on Thursday nights is that they are not sparring classes which I do enjoy.  We do SD and step sparring but it's different then good old fashion point sparring.  But a nice part is that traditionally Thursdays are smaller classes, not sure why, which allows for more focus attention.   It might snow tonight before I get home so that will make traveling a lot more  of  a challenge but it will be  fine, I've done it before.  I know that if the weather is too bad my instuctor understands that I can't make it and some time she'll even call to tell it's really bad at the school (some times it's not where I live) and that not to risk it.  It Is the bomb but she nor I want to have to worry about an accident during my travels.

I don't know about you all but I'm glad the American Election season is now over and on the books, I hope that now we can focus on letting the economy heal itself and get things productive again.
