After an hour and a half of karate in the morning, I feel really bad and want to do nothing more than sit someplace with water and pant.
After an hour of karate in the evening, I feel great and could cheerfully continue for another half hour. Not always, of course -- it depends on things like how much I've eaten and drunk -- but often.
Makes me half-tempted to give up Saturday morning classes and just focus on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Only half, though. Going three times a week is undoubtedly keeping me in better shape than going just twice.
Anyway. Nights like tonight are what keep me going there, nights when things just feel right, even though I'm out of breath and sore. A surprisingly large part of it is being able to see myself in the mirrors and think, oh so vainly, "I look badass!"
What can I say? I'm a visual person. Also vain. *grin*
Then, of course, I come home and discover that Columbia's financial aid app has to be postmarked by Feb. 1, and then my printer wouldn't work and my computer kinda froze. So that kinda sucked. *eyeroll* But I still feel pretty good. Karate makes me feel like I can do anything -- even deal with college apps.
