grim23 | The continuing update (Reply)

The fast continues at Day 6. I have all of my energy back, and a bit more. Most of the film on my skin is gone, and my breath is better. I rolled out of bed at 6:35am, and walked two miles and did kata and hyung, in the mist and fog. I sat and breathed by the lake and watched the frogs.

I didn't try to run, as, um, well...I learned in class on Monday I'm not yet up to spinning back kicks. The knee seems fine today, after I iced it last night and rested it. The rest of my class went very well and I am starting to notice, if only by sore muscles, that my strength is returning.

Darryll's girlfriend went to Durham and picked up my parts for Growler, and with a little charge to the battery and a bit of gas, she's rolling. Test ride from my room to the hospital, being generous: 9 minutes. From the hospital to the gym/dojang: 6 minutes.

I went to the Dollar Store and found a candleholder and candle for my altar. It looks very nice, and seems to fit with my spartan decor.

Tonight: pack for the Burn, call about the Masonic Lodge in Creedmoor. Meditate on keeping all of my chakras open and modulated.
