This is my first blog entry... So, I went to [I]NWF[/I] ([U]NorthWest Fencing[/U]) on a Saturday, which happened to be a competition day. :). So I did [I]not[/I] get to take a class, but I signed up and went to class next Tuesday, the 12th of January, I believe. I already knew advances, retreats, and lunges, but I did not know what double checks were, or any check-steps at all, for that matter. Anyway. There was a large age-range, from 6 to 13. I am 12, near the top of the scale. ...
Week 5 of 12 on my personal fitness "dare". On the plus side, I have not had caffeine in 2010 and I've only eaten one candy bar. On the negative side, I'll need to leave before dawn and drive a long distance to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre next Saturday and that means making a decision about caffeine. I don't think it would be safe for me to drive that far and that early in the morning without it so I may jump off the wagon for that event and then jump right back on again after ...

Its been a lot harder taking the online classes at Baker than I thought. Its been sucking up most of my free time and money. I'm slowly making progress though. Just 10 more courses and the bachelor degree will be mine. I haven't had enough time to do the physical conditioning I wanted to do. I guess I'll have to accept that fencing will be on the backburner indefinately till I finish this up and figure out a way to not have mandatory overtime as part of my employment. ...
I skipped practice on Tuesday for some...eh hem..."Female reasons." Unfortunately, I spent Wed and Thurs between sleep and some "Religious Activities" (stemming from the "Female reasons"). Fortunately, the Porcelain God did not demand an offering. I probably only drank 2 pints of water/gatoraide between the 2 days. I probably should have skipped practice tonight, but.... I went. lol. Good practice. Did some distance work while the 2 beginners had ...
