Challenge Met!

Two days before the deadline ... I was afraid that I was going to be the only tiger to fail. I woke up this morning at half past eight (apologies to all of you who have much stricter morning schedules). By half past nine I had finished. My RAoK was to walk Mongo (the imprisoned dog), and to combine that act with the distance required. On a distant, slanting dock, I completed my pushups (using the arms by the side tricep version) and situps (pulling up to reach my knees each time). Stances. Then Fu Hok for a form (which still counts, I think. It's getting long, and it needs practicing -- I'll still do Gung Gee before bedtime, though).

At the end of Fu Hok, I looked up to see a fishing boat trolling by silently. The fisherman (he was definitely male) was carefully not looking at me. I imagine I was an odd sight, on an angled, dry dock, dogs all around, performing strange movements. While in some city parks across this state one might see Tai Chi or some other physical art being performed, Nolin Lake is not very metropolitan in that way. It's not even common to see another ethnicity around here. I tried to enjoy the sensation -- to see it as another kind of performance -- but I'd rather have been alone, given my druthers.

The rest of the day will feel odd, without scrambling to complete requirements.
