I have a long ways to go but I am becoming faster, stronger, and more powerful. I have had several realizations and have written them down. My hand writing sucks but I shall one day have a friend write them down in my journal for others to read. Before I can pick up my comrade (My sword) I must first re-sharpen my own body, making it my main weapon of defense for one must first master their own body before making a weapon part of them. Switching to a much more healthy eating habit has improved my health dramatically. A nice hot cup of tea tastes so much better after training.

I will not be online as much because I have other things to focus on outside of training such as job hunting and getting into activities that will help keep me active.

My muscles... they ache, this sensation of weakness leaving the body, and this new found strength. The feeling of relaxing in a hot tub and then meditation after training, the bliss of another step closer to enlightenment. The mountains...my mountains.... they call to me, welcoming me to train and meditate at their peaks. But not yet.... not yet.
