Pushups in weird places, and strange forms of conditioning

I have been away from the kwoon a lot lately, due to prior obligations and holidays with the family. It's been really weird, I think this is the most time I've ever been away from class. It does make it more of a challenge to get going on doing my pushups, situps and forms. I've been doing my pushups on the beach, in the trailer, at the park, even in peoples bathrooms. It's been interesting. My Internet has been sketchy too, I keep getting kicked off, so I better write fast.
The horse running went well, I did what I was supposed to, and made it out of it with only a few injuries. I got kicked by foal a few times so I've got some bruises, but hey, what martial arts student isn't covered in bruises? It was funny, during the mare inspection I'm running the horse around and her foal goes a bit crazy running past us, bucking and kicking, (which was how I got kicked) So I catch a stray hoof in the stomach, but hey, how many times have I been kicked in the stomach? Someone commented later about how they would have been in a heap on the ground and my boss says, oh she's a karate girl... of course everyone that knows I'm in martial arts thinks it's karate for some reason. It was kind of funny anyway, and it was true, my conditioning definitely saved me that time.
So the challenge this week is to do all my requirements while travelling, should be fun.
