It's snowing. Not a whole lot, but it's been doing it for a while. Light little dusty flakes of snow.

Mmm. Trained hard yesterday at wushu (after training very soft with [livejournal.com profile] caeled, to be filed under why no matter how much wushu I do I need to do more Taiji). After letting my feet get thoroughly traumatized during the week, switiching between the evil old shoes with no support and my shiny new supportive but completely not broken in shoes, it occurred to me that I still have my wrestling shoes that both fit well and are supportive, so I wore those instead. (I think I'm going to try one more bit of surgery on the old shoes to see if I can salvage them for bagua.)

Good shoes make an awful lot of difference. The weird lack of stability from the old shoes had been giving more more trouble than I'd realized, and everything was a lot cleaner and more stable. Still didn't do arc back kicks (it might be a month or two yet, but I'm not really worried -- I know I can do them decently, once my muscles have healed a little more) but I did all but one of the jump kicks, and I did the first sweeps I've done since the accident. They started pretty shakey, but my front sweeps were cleaning up by the end, even if that's the one thing the wrestling shoes suck for. (Okay, they'd also suck for bauga.)

I need to work on backsweeps a lot. Gah. Gods but they're pretty when they work.

Anyhow, after that thorough amount of overdoing it yesterday, I was completely spacey and out of it when we visted Biomass, but I had things to set on fire, which helped. (Sorry I was so incoherent.) Some of the muscles in my hip were really sore, and I spent a lot of last night curled around a hot water bottle, but I'm feeling pretty okay this morning. I mean sore, but in a way that I think will be okay once I stretch.
