Paul, Kanika and I are going to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club tonight in Englewood!  I’ve never heard of these guys much before this, so it should be fun to experience some new music.  To the gig!

This afternoon, Paul and I met at the gym for a workout.  It started out with 20 minutes on the treadmill for another two miles in the books.  After that, we did a smallish karate workout that consisted of basics, blocking/punching combinations, and Heian Shodan.  It was a nice leisurely workout for a Sunday afternoon!

The Karate Rosary Originally uploaded by dalcher Thanks to yesterday’s gym workout, tonight’s workout was an exercise in pain. A lot of arm movements and body shifting defined the workout, however that’s not what I want to talk about tonight. Tonight, I want to talk about my buddy Matt. We’ve trained karate together for as […]

The gym workout tonight consisted of 10 minutes on the treadmill followed by a really action-packed weights workout.  Paul and I both stepped up on the chinup weight, so my arms are pretty shot right now.  Fun stuff!

Tasha and I braved the snow to make it to the gym, where we met up with PW.  He and I had a good karate workout, starting out with standing basics.  We quickly knocked out 600 techniques: punching, blocking (rising, inward, outward, downward), and front kicks.  After that we did front stance training where I […]
