those shoes are now a long way away

This week I have trained harder than ever before. It's fantastic but grueling. I thought I was in shape, but I just felt like a lump the whole week. I can tell I'm going to get very flexible and strong.

The second day I was so sore I could barely tie my shoes. Then I was that sore for the next three days. But I learned to ignore the pain and focus on training.

After strength training on Thursday my sifu here, Master Wong, asked me if I had been at school. I told him that I had just graduated university. So he said: "that's why you're so tired. Too much time in library!"

All I've done this week is trained, read, played chess and listend to music. This will be a good year.

I know exactly how you feel! It takes a few weeks but once you adjust, it'll be amazing how quickly you improve. Is there anywhere you can get a massage?

GRAHAM!
I'm glad you made it to China all in one piece. I was starting to get slightly worried. I am writing you a letter and I know Steve posted a thing with your address but it was confusing (I think it was the lack of numbers). If you can send me an email with it or something, or just an explanation of how to write. (mph3@sfu.ca)

HAVE FUN GETTING IN SHAPE AND BECOMING A MASTER OF THE ART OF KUNG FU!

sincerely

Hey Graham it's good to hear you're doing well over there so far! I hope you're having tons of fun as well as training hard, but training is fun right?
Do you have an email address to email you at?
