We ate late today, because we had a long doctor's appointment for our son and I took the day off work. Then we went out to eat: I was so hungry by the time we got there that I ate quite abit.
Sushi and miso soup

Took about an hour nap. I had to. I was almost falling asleep driving home from Syracuse.

Judo
We worked on 4 different throws for about the first hour and twenty minutes:
Osoto-gari: I love this throw. I'm probably getting this one down the best so far.
O-goshi: I got this one pretty good, too, once I got the foot-work down.
Ouchi-gari: This one I had a little problem with, for some reason. I lose my balance, mainly, I think, because I'm trying to break uke's fall too much, rather than letting them go. Still, I got the basic idea down.
Harai-goshi: This one was ok, but again, the foot-work was a little tough.
The last 40 minutes was ground-work, my favorite. We worked on a few techniques, including several working with uke starting on their stomach in a guarded position. The last one was a transition into a juji-gatame.
Then we did a little ground randori for about 15 minutes. I did well, but felt I struggled too much and was trying to use too much strength. Once a relaxed more I did much better. I did feel like I strained an elbow while sparring, not from an arm-bar or anything, but from another white belt trying to muscle me using his wrestling. I don't know exactly what happened, just that it's a little sore. Still, I managed to tap him once, and control him most of the rest of the time. All-in-all it was a good night, and I feel much more comfortable than when I was in karate for some reason.
