Training, training and training
A couple of weeks ago I decided to increase the amount of time I spend on training. Besides Aikido och weight lifting, I’ve picked up running again.
The typical week looks like this:
Monday - Weight lifting, aikido
Tuesday - Running, aikido weapons practice
Wednesday - Weight lifting, aikido
Thursday - Running, aikido weapons practice
Friday - Weight lifting, aikido weapons practice
Saturday and sunday I do aikido weapons practice by myself, and occasionally I take a walk.
This way I exercise aikido every day during a week, and today was my 14th consecutive day doing aikido, and it feels grrrreeeat 
I’ve noticed that my weapons techniques have gotten much better and more powerful, and I also get the chance of correcting the mistakes I make in them, hopefully I correct them the right way 
If you can read swedish, I recommend visiting Funbeat, which is a site for registering all your exercises so you can keep track of how much you move that body of yours. If you register there, and search for my name, you can even see my training calendar.
It’s quite fun, and it’s thanks to Caroline that I started using it, and I must say that the aspect of viewing my friends training times gives an extra incentive to do my training, because otherwise I will lose my lead position!

Haha, you’ve got quite a lead right now, though. I haven’t been doing much at all this last week.

It’s been getting better, actually, which is strange as it usually gets worse when I’m not exercising enough. Oh, well, nothing to complain about there. :pom:

When I get back to my ordinary training schedule, maybe you and I could go on double dates, just you and me?

Aha, the gap is closing! If I make an effort I might even get back in the lead. Hmm…if I through myself into the cold ocean for a bit, that would count as 5 minutes of swimming, right?

Did a search on wordpress and aikido and ended up here. Can’t say I remember many faces from the Swedish Aikdio Conference this year but Mika’s is one I never forget.
Just a quick hello from me, that I’m sure you don’t remeber
