Great day! I’ve been on vacation since yesterday but I had several appointments and errands to run so today is “me time”. Grabbed my #karate #journal and went for coffee, then out to lunch at @yamadojapaneserestaurant for my favorite #ramen in #naperville and now to head home to finish off not one but TWO articles for #martialjournal (@scottbolon ) @erickastengren #happyplace #noodles #japanesefood #sapporo

Well THAT didn’t work out as planned. Day 31 was supposed to be a day of rest. But it is actually my regular day of class in the dojo. So is tomorrow… I guess it’s the universe’s way of not letting me off the hook for days 28 & 29 where I didn’t get my full hour in. 🤣🤣🤣 Day 33 of#30daysofmartialarts will be restful. #karate #jokeisonme #noslacking #happyplace #martialarts @carac68 – enjoy your first day of rest.. in two behind you. @erickastengren @mish.mash.do

WE DID IT! And so day 30 brings to a close this year’s #30daysofmartialarts challenge. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and supported this. What a great way to show #positivity in the #martialarts and to share with each other our training regimens. I’ve made several new IG friends through this and I’m looking forward to staying in touch and continuing to share our training posts. Cheers, Rob. @mish.mash.do @jeremylesniak @ando_mierzwa @karateculture @erickastengren @bsma_dojo @scottbolon @carac68 #karate #meditation #friendship #community

Day 29 of #30daysofmartialarts Can tomorrow really be the final day? Coincidentally, day 30 is when I have my appointment with my orthopedic about my shoulder. A fitting end. Lol. #kobudo today as well as some #hojoundo and #meditation. This was a tough weekend and if everything that’s happened in the past 72 hours had happened earlier in the challenge, it’s possible that I wouldn’t have been able to complete it. #30daysofkarate #karate #innerstrength #martialarts #perseverance @jeremylesniak @karateculture @mish.mash.do @ando_mierzwa @erickastengren @bsma_dojo @scottbolon

“When your own heart asks” • Day 28 of #30daysofmartialarts and, at 1:40 AM, time for bed. I had to pull back on the training yesterday and today a bit with a sick spouse, my own shoulder injury, and letting some “outside influences” invade my concentration and focus. Didn’t get the full hour in on either day but still managed to get something done. Tomorrow I’ll be back with a vengeance. And we’re almost there – just two more days. #30daysofkarate #martialarts #hagakure @scottbolon @karateculture @erickastengren @mish.mash.do @jeremylesniak @ando_mierzwa @bsma_dojo
