Looking for Squirrel Recipes

At the beginning of the week, I was still suffering from a cold. So, I was unable to train. I was able to start back up on Wednesday. This small lay off allowed a pulled muscle in my left calf to heal a little bit. However, I was still unable to run, but I continued to bike.

Here are my stats for the week:

 The master’s test is more than just about martial arts techniques; we are being challenged with various physical and mental challenges. For example, last summer we rappelled down a cliff near Donner Lake with some help from some trainers, and we visited a tree obstacle course near Lake Tahoe (http://northtahoeadventures.com/) . The course had ziplines, hanging rings, nets, and other monkey climbing tasks.

In a few weekends, the master belt testers and some of the other 360 instructors are going to a survival training class in California. We are only allowed to bring a canteen to boil water in and a multi-tool knife with a saw blade. It’s a two day event, and it’s just one of the events/tests we will be taking during our master’s journey.

Above is a picture of me when I don’t have internet for 45 minutes. Yes, I know. I devolve fast.

Below is a picture of the two items we are allowed at the training besides clothes. (Oh, yeah, I’m packing some leaves just in case.)
