Thursday Practice - Day 9,070 -

 


The Details:

It's 44 at the house and it's drizzling. The sunrise was at 5:42.

Notes:

I've got a 9:30 Breakfast with Shubal at the Freedom Cafe (the old corner cupboard). I had a very nice visit. He helped me to get back to what's important in life. He has a very good attitude about aging and life itself. Inspirational! Must in The Barn next Wed. afternoon.

I they went to the co-op for soup. They had Chicken Stew...Yum!

Then I went to Swift Cleaners to drop off my sport coat for the upcoming Italy trip.

The Practice:

When I got back from town the power was out (planned outage from 11-noon today. 

I ate some soup since it was already warm.

Then went out to The Deck to practice.

I started with a brief Warm Up.

Next I did a Round (right side) to a metronome set at 60 BPM with 2 tones (downbeat and upbeat) I had a few glitches but it was very easy to correct and get back to The Sequence.

Next I did a round of Yin Style Baguazhang 8 Palms Changes 1-8 (both sides) reciting the names of the postures where I could (1-5) and intermmitently for changes 6-8.
