I Tried Hockey After 7 Years

 On Tuesday this week I went to a drop in adult shimmy game of hockey. I actually did pretty good after not playing for 7 years and not skating in the last 2 years. I did need to buy some new gear like a helmet and thermal layers. I fell down a few times but I got the hang of it again after the first few minutes. I’ve been wanting to get back into hockey and I had a few friends that are in leagues and they would like to join next year on their team. So I figured I should start getting ready now instead of later next year when the season starts. I really enjoyed being back on the ice, and I hope my schedule next year allows me to join a league and compete with my friends again.

Worth

 For the entirety of May I was on a dark underground journey with myself. I analyzed everything about myself, where I am, and what I want to become. It got dark. Not going to get into specifics but it was a lot of talk with myself in a mirror or my car or to myself throughout the day. To keep it appropriate I kept telling myself “you need to win Owen. Because you have no other choice.” I feel we all have taken ourselves to this level before. It definitely made me more aware of the consequences when I don’t do something I need to do. I am comfortable where I am right now, but comfort kills progression. And without progression, we don’t get better.  Numbers: P/U: 13765 S/U: 12047 Forms: 125/113 Sparring: 16 AoK: 268 Mileage: 378.93km

Packing Up

 It has been none stop at the house to get everything ready before we move. We’ve done countless trips out to the storage unit and to my grandpas to store some of our equipment. I’m not a great people person when I comes to living close to one another. I just feel like I have no personal space and that everyone can hear you even when your inside your house. And with us moving into town I’m worried about crime. So I’ll be taking some extra steps to make sure my belongings aren’t in my car as much as they used to be. I haven’t gotten a lot done with my numbers but I’m still getting some done every day.  Numbers  P/U: 12548 S/U: 10580 Forms: 108/102 Sparring: 8 AoK: 237 Mileage: 302.56km

Year of the Horse

I am excited with what is happening next year for the I Ho Chaun team. Growth cannot happen without change no matter how comfortable it may feel. The less we change and challenge ourselves the easier it is for mediocrity to enter our life. And like I said on Thursday, if your not going to be on the team text year use that as a tool to keep yourself disciplined on your journey to be in the team in the future. I try my best to look at the positives that come with most change, because you can’t control that it’s happening so you might as well go in to it with a positive outlook because being negative about it won’t help you get better.  Numbers P/U: 37500 S/U: 34200 Forms: 624/650 Sparring: 161 AoK: 593 Mileage: 913.53km
