I may have allergies. After a week in Vegas with no pollen, grass etc, I returned and within 12 hours had a runny nose for 4 days. If it was a cold it hit me with a wallop all at once. 7 days later, I'm feeling much better. I've been away from karate for weeks, so last night I was eager to sweat out the rest of the toxins.
When I hear the two magic words that kick my body into overdrive I realize no cold or allergies will keep me down. "Full speed and power" is a trigger to exert all the speed and all the power you have within.
It really triggers something within a martial artists mind and tanden. Earlier that day I was still whining on the inside about my nasal drip. This morning I wake feeling refreshed, and remember those muscles I have in my back that I wasn't using for a few weeks. :) Ahh. tiger balm.
