"Try again without the horse blanket."
The new, light, karate-style gi top is a vast summertime improvement. Unfortunately the pants that came with it have an elastic waistband, which I find terribly annoying when it gets all sweaty, so they are rather useless to me; I'm still using my old pair with the patch in 'em. Half a loaf, etc.
My leg is, in fact, improving (if at a glacial pace). Still not back to normal, but I can stretch further than I could last week. As it happened, we weren't doing anything today that stressed it anyways. Therefore, since the universe must have balance, I have picked up a new ouch (during the weekend, strictly speaking) which seems to be some kind of nerve pain in my upper arm. It crops up during kotegashi and when I'm putting a shirt on. Go figure.
According to FitDay, I just burned more calories in aikido than I've eaten all day so far. This begins to beg the question of why I haven't lost any weight in the past week, but I shall be patient and give it a month before judging.
