    Today was tai chi and then my kung fu class.

    Tai chi was great. What a great workout and I'm learning more and more of the form all the time. I'm about 1/3 of the way through the second section.

    Kung Fu was also a great class. Tai Chi alone is a workout but then add on a kung fu class after it and I'm soaked in sweat. Warmed up worked on some drills, 3 rounds of sparring. Jammed my right middle finger. Help a beginner with our first form and then worked some two man drills. I'll probably test for my next level in about 6 weeks.

    Tomorrow is a planned rest day but a friend may come over to work on the wooden dummy and I may do my clubbell workout if I feel rested.

    Right now I'm gonna eat something and probably take a nap.

    Shoulder feels pretty good and right achilies is fine.

    We got dumped on with about 10 inches of heavy wet snow so I shoveled the driveway and walk for about an hour and then I made an igloo for my kids that took about 3.5 hours. Not an official workout but wow still a workout.

    Tomorrow I swim at lunch. Going for 1000 yards and must remember to time myself the whole way.

    edit: Here it is 6 hours after I finished my igloo and the darn thing has already caved in.

    I'm wiped out from shoveling all that snow yesterday. Hamstrings are sore too from bending over and filling up my bucket to build the dang igloo. Taking a break today. I need the rest.

    went running today. About 3 miles. It was cold and slushy. My feet are wet and I didn't have gloves. My right hamstring is still a bit sore from building the igloo. Just took it easy.

    Tonight I have kung fu class.

    Tomorrow is form work and full body workout I think I may go with the upper body pyramid again and then add on some squats and lunges.

    I have ZERO motivation this week. I hate getting in these ruts from time to time. I missed monday's workout, I was going to go to class on tuesday but didn't go, I ran easy on tuesday but did nothing yesterday. Today I plan on running and then a friend and I are going to check out a new kung fu school in town tonight. We're not thinking about switching schools, we just want to see how they structure their class and just check it out.

    Everyone else's training journals are very insprirational so keep up the good work everyone. I hope to get myself out of this rut today.

    VERY inspirational, I applaud you all. These journals really help out guys like me who do solo training. This training forum has been my motivational partner replacement.

    Thanks guys

    I don't think so. My wife and I aren't exactly seeing eye to eye right now and it just impacts everything. Mostly my motivation.

    Maybe I do need to mix things up a bit to get going though. Thanks for the input.

    I think they do northern mantis and northern shaolin. They are located in the rockrimmon area of colorado springs. I think they just opened up. I'll have more info tomorrow.

    By the way chief, I'm about 7 inches away from pulling a front split. It sounds lie a lot but I feel like I get more flexible everyday.

    cool, let me know if they are worth their weight in salt... I'll add them to the list for my chang san fang thing. Also, we're doing a demo on the 13th up here at a restaurant.... if you guys were up to a little drive.

    NICE! I'm at the point where I don't need to hold myself up with my hands on either side. I've still got a few more inches to go before I'm in a full split.

    Side split is also improving but very slowly. Once I get to a full split I'll take a picture and post.
