Starting off the new year

A hike up in the Pacific Palisades was the perfect way to start off the new year. Got good clean air, exercise, relaxation. Had good company and then good food followed by a nap. I think I'm addicted to hiking now! There's something so calming about being in nature surrounded by vegetation and silence. Well, mostly silence when there aren't other people walking by. It was great. Even better was doing forms at the top. I think being up there helped me get get a little more connected with my body. I know I'm out of whack and my body feels disjointed at points, largely due to work and other non-fun things. Ah, but being out in the mountains was a needed break to regroup, recoup, and re-energize. I think it'll be great to have a day of hiking and then wing chun afterward. Entry techniques down the mountain! Okay maybe not. We don't want to run the risk of sending our training partners flying off the trail. Lesson number 1: don't kill your training partner. Anywho, I'm going to take full advantage of the fact that I have the rest of the weekend to relax and breathe before the chaos starts again. Hopefully, this year will be better than the last.
