Way back when I played hockey and skied daily I was always healthy. Because of the I never had to modify anything in my training. What I am happy about is even though I am compensating for the soreness my training has never been at this level. I feel that because I have to compensate I am thinking more about training and areas that I need work on(by the way it is a lot).
I have to equate this level of training to being fortunate enough to be in I Ho Chuan. What I have received out of I Ho Chuan cannot be underestimated.
Having said the above, I have made the choice this year not to join the monkey team. One reason is I will be tied up in a project this summer that will take a great deal of my time. But the more important reason is; I want to know that what I have learned in I Ho Chuan, I will continue on in my day to day life. Have I picked up and permanently changed my behaviours so that I am continually working towards mastery? This year will be my test. I am eagerly looking forward too it but know I will miss being on the monkey team
Rest assured I will be back for the Rooster team.
