Whew

Renovations are complete (mostly). That was a busy 10 days of a lot of hard work. Needless to say, the training went out the window as I spent on average 12 hours a day working on the Kwoon. If you add in the 1.5 hours of travel time a day, it does not leave a lot of time for "training". I say training, because I am refering to kicks, forms, techniques etc. I did do a lot of mental training and it turns out suprisingly a lot of physical training as well. All the tiling and construction turned out to be a great workout and I had to take Tuesday off as every muscle in my body was sore. I am still feeling the effects as there is still some soreness (okay a lot in some parts) but that first class made it all worthwhile. When I first walked in, I looked around and I got a tingling senstion in my whole body and in my mind all I thought was yeahhhh!!! The Kwoon looks awesome and I felt a true connection with it. It may sound like hokey but it was truly an experience and everytime I have entered the Kwoon since, I get the same feeling. The Kwoon has a calming aura to it now and I feel almost like I'm at peace when I enter the Kwoon now. I now have to focus on my "training" again as the big day draws nearer and hope that my effort will match my expctations of myself.
