So now I'm officially crazy, I think!
Finally, after weeks of changing my mind back and forth, I began taking Judo classes with my son on Monday night. I would've written about my experience yesterday but my arms were too sore. I most definitely have a new-found respect for Devlin. This kid loves taking judo, he takes 4 90-minute classes per week! I started out OK on Monday, but it didn't last. The class is basically a 45-minute workout followed by 45 minutes of instruction (on holds, throws, defense, etc.) The workout part destroyed me. Now, I did NOT think that I was in particularly good shape, but I didn't think I was in terrible shape. Unfortunately for me, I was, in fact, in terrible shape. I tired very quickly but pushed on. I couldn't give up in front of the kid. So now, I have pain in muscles that I didn't even know I had, and I tore up my elbow pretty good. Just to show off in front of the kid. Competitive much?? You bet. I hope I feel better by tonight because class starts at 7:30, and I will be there. Even if it kills me. Which it very well may.

When I did the Cardio-kickboxing the exercise was really hard. We saved the best for last which was kicking and punching. What an outlet, it was great......
I've said it before and I'll say it again...Devlin is one lucky kid to have such a cool mom! Have fun and be careful!
oh goodness shan, ill watch you then decide if judo is right for me lol. by what you tell me, sounds liek you had a blast (except for the elbow incident) but other than that.. hey its a good workout, and of course its good quality time with Dev. Have fun tonight, and i cant wait to hear about it on Friday!! =)
