Second day in a row of 20+ Celsius temperatues. I'm still pinching myself.
Got up and went to karate today for the first time in many months. It seems the more exercise I do, the more I want to do, as long as it's different sorts of exercise, ones that work different sets of muscles.
I'm fitter than I used to be, I think: I definitely broke a sweat, but either the class was easier than they used to be, or I have better wind. I haven't lost as much technique as I was afraid of, either. It'll be a few weeks before I'm back into a decent level of competence, but I'm optimistic.
The main emphasis today was takedowns and kihon. I'm going to have to free up my Saturdays in order to get to the kata classes. Well, I wasn't using them for much, anyway.
After karate, went for a nice long walk on the beach, up to the broken 17th century pier and the 4,000-year-old, uninvestigated passage tombs. It was so warm I had to change into shorts first, though.
It really has been an incredibly good day. And I am promised Chinese for dinner, too. So that makes it even better.
