Only the legacy remains...

I hadn't realized that the last time I wrote on here was in November 2008. After testing for my 5th mid-term in the 1st degree curriculum, I called it quits. I had been trying to balance my new job, at the time, that was about to increase its hours w > read more
Decision...for now
Published on 2008-11-08 11:52:00
After some thought, and consulting with the hubby and my good TKD buddy Sandy, I came to the following decision. Drew will take his break. It may be permanent, and it may not, we'll see. I decided for myself that I will continue for the next two mont > read more
TKD dilemma, shredder style
Published on 2008-11-06 20:57:00
(Crossposted from my regular blog with some edits.)I'm upset tonight about Drew and TKD. Or should I say, Drew and not TKD. Drew had been good all day on his day off from school, according to his father, no problems. He was even cooperative when I go > read more
We're still here!-- again!
Published on 2008-10-28 21:39:00
I know, I haven't written much in months. Drew and I are still taking TKD. I took a month off in August, and in September with the new school year, we started back up, and just had another graduation this past week. It's amazing to think it's been a > read more
Olympic TKD from an ATA perspective (at least mine)
Published on 2008-08-19 21:41:00
I started TKD more than 3 years ago, so I had no reason to watch Olympic TKD the last time around. Now that I've been involved in the sport for a while, it's interesting to watch it on the Olympics, albeit online instead of on TV. (All hail the might > read more
Olympic Motivation
Published on 2008-08-16 22:00:00
There's something about an exciting sporting event of any kind that motivates people to get up and move. The Olympics are no exception. I have been sidelined for a few weeks due to my hip injury, and well, general malaise about TKD lately. I was some > read more
Definitely sidetracked again.
Published on 2008-07-25 19:50:00
Oh bleeh. I finally went to the chiropractor, because I felt like those Active Release Techniques would possibly help my hip. Well, it did, but it's just starting to help. I had to go to two sessions this week alone. The chiro I saw (I go to a pair o > read more
Possibly Sidetracked again
Published on 2008-07-24 20:14:00
I haven't usually let an injury get in the way of my training. Well, at least not too much. Oh yeah, I will say, "Sorry, I'm not doing that and modifying that because I'm afraid of injuring my knee/back too much again," or something because my asthma > read more
It's been a month already? Gee....
Published on 2008-07-18 20:00:00
I hadn't realized that it'd been a month since I last posted here. Well, then again, it doesn't seem like there's much to write about. About a week or so after the last graduation, Drew did "boot camp" in which they cram the whole summer's curriculum > read more
Another milestone passed
Published on 2008-06-18 19:58:00
Okay, so I haven't written here much lately. Well, there's not much to tell most of the time. Drew and I have been working hard on our stuff. Drew had In Wha #2, BME freestyle, and sparring to contend with, and I had to prepare for my #3 midterm, nam > read more
