Today I did my second Tai Chi class and I really enjoyed it. This week I could feel myself pushing my 'qi' down :) Because I knew what to expect, I could focus more on my breathing and relaxing rather than stressing about what we had to do next and how long we had to hold poses. I came out of the class feeling fresh and relaxed but not in a 'I'm-sleepy-and-ready-for-a-rest' kinda way.
My achilles feels antagonised, though. I've been a bit lax with my stretching and strengthening over the long weekend because I spent all day and night working on the house renovations. Back to it tomorrow, though. Only four or five weeks to go until I an contemplate running again.

Hi san. Tai chi is really good for your running. And excellent for your mind and soul.
Achilles are like that some days it will seem worse than others just keep at it maybe add soem deep water running if your doc says its ok.. also if your seeing a sports doc and it doesnt seem to be improving maybe consider blood injections.
Also i find i need to replace my shoes every 600km any longer and i get issues again.

I would love to do some Tai Chi. Its funny because when I was in Australia I would see groups doing it in the park every morning. There are free classes in the parks here but of course I worry that someobdy I know might see me. But who cares. I want to do some Tai Chi, I think I could really use it.
