30 Day Challenge: Day 11

Look! I found a dragon!
Tonight's selfie and workout happened at the same place. Back in May, at Comic Con, I met a group that does sword and shield training. Two weeks ago I got an email about their upcoming fall semester classes and was interested in the first level Shieldmaiden course.

I enjoyed the first night and look forward to next week. We learned the four basic arches and using them with a shield. I have a personal goal of moving up to the larger round shields in the back (I used a small one you see on the right) and to not have to switch to a lighter weight practice sword mid class. I suspect that will require work outside of the class. I also suspect I am going to be sore tomorrow.
