Re: I think I might be having a midlife crisis...
Yes, fabulously! This sort of thing is me all over.. I get so bored at the gym working out.. I usually end up in the coffee lounge reading the papers pretending that I will get to the exercise machines in a bit.. this is like a horrendous physical workout BUT with the added benefits of learning self defence... which was a major motivator for me.. plus, as number 1 son goes anyway, I only end up sitting up there on my backside waiting for him, so I thought, why not?!

I boxed when I was youger and I was great until I went in with an opponent.... I couldn't bring myself to hit someone! I spent 3 rounds running rings round a guy without contact! Gave that up

Me, I'd love to knock someone out but wouldnt have the guts or the power. I am not sure I could actually do it but perhaps if they closed their eyes and looked real nasty.
I think tomorrow we should practise Em, invite Ant in....

Great opportunity to spend some real time together away from all that goes with life at home. I am thinking of Tai-chi. A non contact for me..

I don't think I could ever hit anyone either... unless it was the pervert the other month who thought it was ok to pin me down when I was up the pub.. 
made me re-think things.. I couldnt shove him off, he was way too strong... (nothing untoward happened btw.. I am not traumatised or anything) but definately made me think that I need to learn a few moves.. or alternatively I can just wow the attacker with my inane ability to break a brick in half with hand 
Then make a run for it............... 
The instructor said that Ed (number 1 son) was pretty quick and that he could see him in competitions as he has that edge... I don't think I would go in for competitions.. but I do intend to do the 3 year road to black belt.. I have to train twice a week, every week..

Hey there is a great deal, 6 months gym membership $99 if you do 30 days in the gym out of 60. Its like a challenge thing - I am on the case. My abs are going to be visible for the first time ever
