I tried Aikido last night!

Just as I was lamenting about not having enough movement in my life, one of the Meetup groups I belong to created this event.

And, believe me, I really had to talk myself into going. It was Sunday evening, cold, about 30 min by train, and…unfamiliar.

But I sucked it up and made myself go.

It was so much fun! We basically rolled around on the mat all night.

I got really excited when one of the experienced Aikido-ers grabbed her camera and started snapping pics.

And then I got more excited when the pic above landed in my inbox today.

“Yay! A picture for the blog!”

And then I realized…you can’t even see me! But I’m there, about 4 people from the end. I believe that’s my foot making a cameo.

I’ll be returning the next 3 Sundays and will have a full report on my progress.
