First triple class day of the quarter.

Basically, things went fairly well. But during wushu, while struggling with splits (whatever has had my hips bound up has made my splits suck painfully) something on the inside of my left leg, kind of upper back of the thigh went "CRICK!" And kind of hurt. And then it was achey, and tired easily during the rest of the class.

I might have torn something... I'm guessing not, I'm thinking it would hurt more. It could be really good -- the area has been bound up, maybe it's released now, and it's just inflamed and sore from getting moved around. I have a massage appointment tomorrow, anyway. (And then an appointment with a physiatrist.) I really hope things are opening up -- I hate this gaining ground / losing ground I keep playing with my splits, not to mention just the pain and annoyance. Kind of sucked to have the area weird for horse stance, bow stance and crouch stance jumps, too.

Sword went really well, even with achiness. Got some of the best corrections I've gotten in a while. Rusty's in the class.

Chen was iffier -- I was getting tired, and the muscles were started to lock up, but Laojia kind of pulled me back into the right mindstate. Still my most down class in a while, but most of that, I think, was from other things.

And then, as we were getting ready to leave... there was a great big fire down the street. Smoke everywhere. Emergency vehicles of every description, closing off the roads. We ran to close the windows, and fled through the alley...

addendum

This whole killer ab drills two days in a row bit is... interesting. A good thing in the long run, I guess. Ooo...

Does anyone else get burst blood vessels in their hands from doing windmills? (I mean the figure eight double windmills, high speed -- blood ends up in my hands, and if I got fast enough, I end up with all these little polka dots for the next few days...)
