May 18: rather unusual class
Saturday, May 19, 2012 7:39 am
A great big smile from Andrew this evening, while Kate gets serious about her shinai..
Kendo: a different sort of kendo class at Mudokwan tonight--not bad, just a bit odd. We basically did two things: practiced the shodachi kata, and then learned how to dis-assemble and re-assemble a shinai from…

May 17: looking for new routes
Friday, May 18, 2012 5:31 am
A different route today.
Kendo: took my weekly off day here.
Running: 6 miles (61). I decided to go looking for some sort of new running route this afternoon in my neighborhood. I've tried pretty much every possibility, but I decided today to run an area near my house that…

May 16: and still more YMCA kendo
Thursday, May 17, 2012 1:37 pm
Kendo: my third Wednesday in a row attending the kendo class at the Fishers YMCA (because for the third week in a row I've been forced to miss my Tuesday class at Mudokwan). This particular YMCA class was a bit different, however. Normally the Y class is largely beginners,…
May 15: wasting my time
Tuesday, May 15, 2012 7:24 pm
More of the same along Lantern Road/116th street today
Kendo: as expected, I had to miss class at Mudokwan tonight, instead attending a meeting for the parents of kids who will be in my daughter's middle school band next year. I don't mind this sort of thing, fr the most…

May 14: another short run
Tuesday, May 15, 2012 4:00 am
Kendo: focused on footwork with my suburi at home today. Hiro recently told me I should think less about stepping out further with my right foot, and more about pushing off strongly with my left foot and leg--all while keeping proper posture, of course. I think my fumikomi drills are…
Weekly plan, May 14-20
Monday, May 14, 2012 3:49 am
Kendo: more of the same, in that I'll miss Tuesday's Mudokwan class (info meeting for my daughter's band activities next year), but likely b able to make it up with a visit to the Fishers Y. I'm getting tired of missing the Tuesday class, which I actually like a…
May 13: short day
Sunday, May 13, 2012 6:17 pm
Kendo: only managed about half a home practice session before (family) duty called. Better than nothing, but still...an appropriate way, I suppose, to end an uneven kendo week.
Running: 4 miles (57). Short little run in the late afternoon along Lantern Road. Fortunate even to be able to manage this. And…

May 12: long run
Sunday, May 13, 2012 12:50 pm
My favorite tree along this route is now in full bloom.
Kendo: nothing today. A big, weekend-long youth baseball tourney and its attendant concerns wiped out all of my available time for suburi.
Running: 12 miles (56). I was fortunate enough to find time for my weekly distance run, however,…

May 11: little mistakes
Saturday, May 12, 2012 9:33 am
Andrew and Nicholai doing a bit of after-class jigeiko
Kendo: an okay class at Mudokwan this evening. On the plus side: at least I was able to attend class (no small thing these days), and I felt like I accomplished some good things in jigeiko. Lately my strikes have been…

May 10: tired
Friday, May 11, 2012 3:49 am
Kendo: took my weekly day off here....
Running: 8 miles (54)...because man, I was tired. Lack of sleep earlier this week (some late-night grading sessions) finally caught up with me. For whatever reason--aging, probably--a lack of sleep adversely affects my running more than any other single issue. At any…
