Friday Practice
The Details:
It's a chilly 49 at the house. With a slight N N/W breeze it was mighty chilly on the Beach. I've got a 8-9 video call with Jeff and after that we are traveling up I95 to Jacksonville to visit with Mom. We brought Echo and he fussed and whined all the there and all the way back. Oy!
The Practice:
I QW to The Beach just before sunrise. Once I arrived I snapped a few photos with my phone camera.
I started with a full round of The 10+ tuned into consistency, mobility and health.
Next I did a Round (right side) tuned into relaxed balance (Zhong Ding) and The Three Bowls along with the proper placement of my rib cage.
Next I did a round of Anyo Anim tuned into health and full extension and balance while kicking.
Next I did a round of Wansu Kata. I realize I did Wansu Kata yesterday but since I did the Modern Arnis Anyo out of sequence I decided that in and effort to keep organized I'll repeact Wansu today so that I can move forward to Anyo Lima and Chinto Kata tomorrow.
I ended with SPT and Healing Qigong before returning to the house for my 8:00 a=

It's 51 at the house. Brrrr! The sunrise was at 7:18. The low tide was at 3:56.
The Practice:
I QW to The Beach just before sunrise. After snapping a few photos of the sunrise with my phone camera I started with a full round of The 10+ focused on overall health, connecting to the horizon and breathing.
Note:
I saw John The Surfer for the first time this season. He's one of the first regular early morning beach walkers that I've seen to chat with this season.
Next I did a Round (left side) reciting the Taiji Classics during Parts I & II. I tuned into the horizon and Relaxed Balance.
Next I did SPT and Healing Qigong.
Next I did a round of Anyo Lima (I now realized that it should have been Anyo Apat) tuned into applications and mobility.
Next I did a round of Wansu Kata focused on health and mobility.
I did Healing Qigong as I QW back to the house.

Wednesday New Years Day Practice - Day 8, 586 - Happy New Year!
The Details:
It's in the high 50's at the house. I just checked and it's 63 at 10:20. The sunrise was at 7:18. The high tide was at 9:38.
The Practice:
My entire focus lately is using willpower to continue being consistent with my daily practice.
For reasons I don't entirely understand it's simultaneously easier to practice on the beach during sunrise even though it's challenging to get up on time and dressed appropriately for the beach.
It's really great to practice at sunrise on the beach, totally worth the extra effort. I'm hoping I can muster the willpower to continue making it to sunrise.
I made the extra effort to get out to the beach for sunrise this morning. Just before sunrise I QW to the beach with a camera and tripod.
After shooting the sunrise I started to practice; I did a full round of The 10+ tuned into consistency and overall health.
Next I did a Round (right side) tuned into mobility, agility and feeling Jin moving down and up my body through the JinLu and the 9 Zig Zag Path. I practiced in soft sand and felt the challenge to my single leg balancing.
Next I did SPT and Healing Qigong
Next I did a round on Anyo Tatlo tuned into the applications and mobility in this form.
Next I did a round of Seiunchin Kata focused on deep stances, consistency and mobility.
Yesterday at dusk, I QW up to the beached sailboat. I did mobility stretching at the 1/2 point and then again on the 21st Ave Walkover. I also did a round of The 21 Qigong on the beach.
