Another great parade! We were fortunate with wonderful weather again! I love how the team comes together (and a few students) with different ideas and a vision for the float. Another fantastic job completed by all! It was great to see all the students who participated in the parade as well. A few of us have been discussing some ideas for next year, and getting prepared earlier, so I’m looking forward to next year as well.
Now that we have two events on back to back weekends completed, and a month in between before Canada day demo, it’s time to get back to a more holistic training schedule. I had wrote previously about silo training as events are coming up, and although I did much better this year in incorporating other training, I am feeling way behind in certain areas as well.
Although injury and surgery recovery has certainly been, and is a big part of my journey this year, I feel I am ready for more progress. I am finding myself doing things I haven’t been able to do in a year and a half, such as something as simple as crossing my legs! I am of course still proceeding cautiously, but I find I am also pushing more limits day to day, which is a positive trajectory I believe.
There are new forms (2 of them) that I feel and know that I am way behind on. I am going to focus on taking and making opportunities to learn these in their entirety, and can then focus on refining the techniques within them. I am one that needs to learn it first, and then continue to practice to cement it, and then break it down to refine. I have been practicing pieces of each, but feel I am not making any headway with either, and not spending the time needed to learn them. I am excited to put more focus on the new forms.
