May. 30th, 2011 10:43 amYay! I discovered new muscles this weekend. I can tell they're there because they're sore now.
Went to an Aikido seminar at my dojo in Eugene. I haven't managed to find one in Portland yet, so it's been about six weeks since I was last in a dojo, so I was a little reticent to go to the seminar. I'm glad I did, even though I took it probably easier than I should have, and missed several of the classes.
I don't regret missing the first class Sunday, which was all Suriwaza. My knees were already killing me by then. My right knee is still swollen. But, it's going down rapidly, so I'm sure it'll be fine tomorrow.
It was great seeing everybody from the dojo again, especially sensei. And an awesome chance to practice with some great aikidoka, including working directly with at least five different sensei. Way cool way to spend a memorial day weekend. And now, heading back to Portland in a few hours...
