Back in the saddle

I went to aikido last night for the first time since early February. Since I had worked from home, I was able to go to class from the beginning, so I got warmup time plus the beginner techniques before moving to the advanced techniques later in the class. I was rusty, but overall fine. I still can't bend my left knee all the way without lots of stretching in advance, but that will come. All in all, even though I quit a little bit early, it was OK.

This morning, everything hurt. My back, my butt, my legs, my neck, my shoulders -- everything but my knee. :-)

WOOT on getting back to aikido!

and LOL on the soreness. On Friday, H took out his bow for a little bit of archery... on Saturday he complained about the stiffness in his shoulders, his back, his.... :-)

Cheers,
