Pain...

My legs...they're going to fall right the hell off.

We're working on forms all this week, and last night, just for fun, all us purple belts getting ready to test for blue got to spend the evening going over Jung Ye (which is the form required to get out of blue, but since we've all learned the form to get out of purple our instructor decided to give us a bit of what we can expect). This form is _all_ low stances. You may start and finish standing straight up, but that's it, start and finish only. And of course, since we're only just going over it for the first time, after each movement, we get to stay in position while the instructor goes around and corrects us. After all this, we got to do laps in low stances.

Help, my thighs...they're on fire...

Minor edit:

Least favorite thing to hear an instructor say: "Make that stance longer and get lower."

Focus, grasshopper!

You know what's good for leg pains? Margaritas!

Failing that, fine Tequila, neat, will take care of *everything*.

Even though my one "stance" ---aka dance position---is much easier than your multiple stances, "Make that longer" is my least favourite thing to hear as well. In five years, all I've been able to figure out about making that stance "longer" is thatit involves back muscles I didn't know I possessed. In another two years or so I should be able to get it.

Right.

"Now come on baby, back that ass up!"

I'd hate to think that next time you're in DC you'd find yourself in need of your employer's services, Mr. K.

Thanks for the laugh, that's just the sort of comment I need in the morning to elicit a chortle.

It's strange, but CNA doesn't actually offer those kind of services -- unless, of course, I'm there to talk to you in my capacity as an employee of CNA. Which would be, needless to say, quite odd.

And you're welcome.

"You got a real purty mouth".

Actually, my least favorite thing to hear my instructor say is "I just had a Red Bull."

The next day is going to be a write-off, guaranteed.
