So I went last night to karate class! I was happy that I was able to go for the full hour. I did happen to notice that my left leg and arch of my foot was in a permanent cramp the entire class, but otherwise I did ok. That is of course if you remove the pitiful job I did at the situps and pushups. I can do ten of each, but wussy style. I would imagine I would have the same grace wrestling a llama. It’s comical. The teacher gave both of us (another white belt) homework; stretching, SITUPS and PUSHUPS.

I have to tell you about this Karate instructor. He has a deep voice and a playful way about him, but he’s all business. His Japanese accent just forces me to pay attention because that coupled with his deeper voice makes for interesting day dreams (can you tell I have a woman crush on him?). Anyway, he was trying to explain to us how to do this one stance, and he said “I’ve never wear high heel, but this (shows ball of foot on floor, heel in air) is what feet do, no?” So throughout the rest of the night he keeps saying “High Heel, no sneaker!” and it was great. You can tell just by watching him that he knows what he’s doing, and that I can learn a lot from him. All of the teachers are great. All kidding aside about the crush, I was all business too during class, but afterwards…
