Taekwondo - Return

My ankle injury [entry] has receded to an occassional dull ache, so I judged it was about time I returned to class. It was the first time I'd been up in almost a month (I did my ankle way back then), and I discovered two things.

Firstly, that another instructor has retired in my absence. Not the instructor who took most of my classes, but a surprise nonetheless, and it means that the timetable has been rearranged (again) to counter the resulting shortfall.

Secondly, that a month without any exercise has pretty much killed off the small shred of fitness I had left after the neglect of the Christmas break.

Still, there's no pain from the extra exercise, and next week I'm going to try rugby and running again. It's the running I'm most worried about; when I tried to run on it a week ago, it was . . . interesting.
