The Details:
It's the coldest morning yet at 30 degrees. It's our 40th anniversary of dating. Columbus Day weekend 1985.
Time sure flies when you're having fun!
The Practice:
I started with acoustic guitar practice before going out on The Deck with my trusty practice partner Echo.
Next I did a very brief Warm Up
Next I did a Round (left side) with 10 lbs weighted vest. This was the first time I used a weighted vest during practice.
Next I did a round of Yin Fu Baguazhang 8 Linking Palms Changes 1-4 (both sides) reciting the names of the postures where I could.
Next I did a round of Anyo Dalawa focused on moving and stretching my fascia.
Next I did a round of Naihanchi Kata. I noticed that the changes that I've made to this Kata are becoming easier with more conscious iterations.
Next I used a wooden Jian to do a round of Taiji Jian reciting the names of the postures throughout the form. I focused my eyes on the tip of the sword.
Next I did a line of Lazy D with the Jian in my left hand.
I finished with Healing Qigong
I returned to the house to journal today's practices.
