Last night I took a boxing class. I was nervous as it is a class largely comprised of men, in fact, the reason I was "recruited" was to make the only girl in the class feel more comfortable.
It was a fuggin' blast. My years of karate came back to me naturally and with full force- muscle memory at its best. I was eager and fiesty, ready to get in the ring with the guys (although they didn't allow me to) and the workout it gave me was fantastic. I haven't sweat that much in years! Afterwards I couldn't feel the stress of finals so much, my complicated love life, or worries about moving. They'd been numbed by the adrenaline and the endorphins lifted me up. I'm excited to go back next Tuesday and hopeful that I'll be able to give those guys a run for their money.
