Endurance

Tonight was a good night on endurance. That doesn't sound right grammatically, and frankly, I'm too tired to care; sorry. There were four people in all; a nice, round number. One person would be uke, the other, nage. Once nage threw uke eight times, they switched roles. Uke was to give hard, fast, committed attacks each time. It worked out great, and the great and merciful Sensei allowed us to take breathers every now and again.

Basically, we went all out for 30ish minutes. Yeah, it was good.

Can you feeel eet, mon?

The sun is up, and I, barely. Yep, it's Saturday morning, and the bed is still whining for me, nipping at my heels. "Back!" I say, "Back!"

Aikido on Saturday has quite a different "feel" as opposed to aikido on a monday night. It's the "Oh-I-love-aikido through yawns" feel. I don't know. Maybe I'm just weird...
