Status update

I just thought I'd announce I'm not gonna post for another month or so :)

Me and my family are leaving for Austria to visit my in-laws, we'll be back around August 8th. And using wifi in the Austrian Alps can be quite a challenge, I'll be glad if the internet connection works long enough to check my emails once in a while.

Those knee issues I had mentioned in my previous post culminated meanwhile in a full blown hamstring tendinitis due to which I had to request an RKC II transfer to next year. It was a bummer, but what can you do. Even now, it isn't fully recovered yet, it still objects to being fully locked out, but at least my everyday life is not affected anymore (it's only funny in the first five minutes to have to work the clutch pedal "from the hip" while driving...).

But I was/am making the best use possible of this down time. There's a lot bubbling in the witch's kitchen :) Me and my student Will have joined forces so we are going to run Kettlebell Debrecen together, in our own Courage Corner. And because two people make up a system and a system is always more than the sum of its elements, there'll be a lot of exciting changes on all fronts in the second half of August after the Budapest Cert, or in September the latest. But I'm not going to tell a word about the details yet, I don't want to blow the surprise :)

Have a wonderful summer!

Yes, glad that you transfered RKC II to next year because I'm going to be there next year as well.

Hearing that is like a soothing salve to my wounds.

Yes, this time next year things will be better (or at least different!). I look forward to hearing your news and LOVED the witch article.

What do you even do for an injury like that? Just don't lift?

I had 9 bouts of tendinitis in my wrists from martial arts, and as soon as I had acupuncture, my wrists healed and stayed healed.

You too, have a wonderful summer Gabi.

Thank you, Katie,

I hope so, different should be good enough :) I'll be back to regular posting after the cert this weekend.

Aaron,

yes, there's not much more you can do than wait. Not being comfortable with lockout rules out next to everything.
Maybe use the down time to try and figure out what you did wrong in the first place so you can avoid it and/or learn some secret voodoo or magic rituals to brace yourself against it in future. Or anything that keeps depression away.
