Back in the saddle. And soon to be very sore.

That's right, I'm back in Capoeira classes! Run by one of my buddies from the UD Capoeira class, I'm now stretching, kicking, and doing all sorts of interesting and mildly painful exercises! Fortunately, what with the solid wooden floors, my feet weren't torn to shreds with this class, and since we're usually working in a gym, they won't be nearly as bad to break back in. However, solid surfaces provide new forms of pain, such as lowering from a standing position into a slow controlled somersault into a leg stretch. Not my favorite thing in the world. But this feeling, the nearly dead, hard to walk, totally going to be in agony tomorrow feeling is... Indescribably awesome. That exhaustion I can only get from that kind of work out, that sense of satisfaction of kicking my ass and getting through it, that joy of music and kicking and dancing... I missed this so much. And now it's back! I may get those beach abs yet!
