Wow… time flies!

Ok – trying to slam out a blog post before heading to bed.

Busy times guys.  My work days are around 12 – 14 hours, plus I put in 4 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.

Wednesday was Zazen with Patrick, then a great dinner… mentioned that already.  Saturday, after working, was a trip to Tokyo Disney Sea.  Fun, but no rides because of massive wait times (2+ hours).  Sunday was mostly sleep catch up until the evening…

… when I rode a train with Brian out to Yokohama to work out with Patrick.  That was a heavy workout – the standard setup, but with ‘the man’ pushing you along.  Because I was there, Brian got his workout “upgraded” to where I was, as well as Andrew from the Japanese PCP who is a week or so behind us.  I felt a little bad for the guys as I’m not sure how I’d feel jumping ahead by a week or more!

It was nice to see that my form was pretty appropriate for the exercises – that was a big worry.  Watching Patrick on the rope was an inspiration and I began to move my feet a little more / better than before.  Everything else was just normal, only pushed a little bit faster than at home.  The whole thing was done in about 45 minutes, whereas I’d say it’s around an hour when I’m at home.

Monday had me back at work and now I’m headed toward sleep.  Oh – I had a streak of 7 meals in a row with fish in them.  It broke at lunch today, but I still think that’s a pretty awesome accomplishment!

At the moment I’m still set for a Saturday afternoon departure, so I’m going to try and get out to see Patrick at least once more – perhaps Friday.
