Bootcamp, Bringing me back and Disconnect

November 10, 2010

Whew. Last night was one helluva bootcamp experience! As most of you know, I got my black belt in Okinawin Shorin Ryu when I was 16.

May 16, 2010

Review Time

March 24, 2010

It is beautiful here in the T-dot! Aside from my normal school-time, blogging-time and house stuff, I have been taking some time to do one of my favorite things. I took a break from yoga-ing today in favor of a gorgeous 40-minute run along Humber Bay. I love where I live… As well as running, have [...]
