OK, so my second ever Kung Fu class was last night. 1 hour before it, I took my injection. That way it would start to kick in after the initial greetings and stretching was over. I felt it start to kick in and felt powerful...but I still hurt badly after the 25 minute warm up period. It is VERY hard on my legs, makes them burn, and I sweat a lot still. I am giving it my ass, and the TNE told me I had a lot of all to give!.
I will say I think I weathered it with more energy than my first lesson. I also found I was able to punch and kick much harder this time than last time. I paired up with a hot, dark haired woman about 10 years younger than me (I will admit, though, that I look 10 years younger than I am). I told her she did not have to worry about me hitting the pad too hard, that my energy was used up earlier. Having shown me pity last lesson by giving me a "I know, sucks to be our age" look and a sweet smile, she now nodded that she understood. I surprised even myself by almost punching the pad out of her hands! I then backed off quite a bit and apologized, muttering that I am not used to my own strength yet.
Later on she offered to trade me some of her flexibility for some of my strength. Sounds like a great deal to me...also kinda sounds like she might be hitting on me.
That could be the Proviron talking, though...my libido is through the roof right now.
Anyway, I left yesterday pained and sore, but feeling MUCH more alive than last time. I am going to keep taking it before lessons. I was half thinking of quitting altogether, that is how bad I felt. But not now.
