Finally home.

Although I got back a few days ago, it did not feel complete until tonight when I held my steel in hand and went through the paces at training.

It’s been a while.

Training today was luckily a back-to-basics menu starting with a light warm-up, followed by 15min of footwork, 15min of abazare, and 15min of dagger, before going on to sword-work for the remaining hour. Luckily, I’m not as out of shape as I had feared, and all the running that I’ve done for the last month and a half served me in good stead to stay with the class. However, the sword-swinging muscles seems to have lost some of their conditioning, and so I foresee aching arms and shoulders tomorrow. No help for it but to train more.
