Got swine flu back at the beginning of November, then a lung infection followed by a pretty bad case of bronchitis for a long while, gained a bit of weight, but I just went back to keiko today. It felt pretty good to get back on that bike, though I hit some bumps and bruised my balls.

The most surprising thing to come out of it is that I didn't forget any of the first seven kata. I thought that would've been the first to go.

The least surprising thing is that I lost a lot of muscle and it's a strain for me to do 100 men-uchi now.

I hate it when I take breaks.

I feel your pain. I took a break from kendo and iai for little over a year, gained a bit of weight. Just return to iai a month ago, and barely finished the 1000 suburi at kagami biraki. The first couple weeks of return felt horrible. It's better now, slowly getting back my muscle strength...
