Well, you are probably wondering why I have a picture of my feet on my blog. Well, it is really not my feet that are the subject of this post. Look at my left big toe. Look different than my right big toe? Maybe a little more colorful? That is what Taekwondo will do for you. I got it during a race we were doing (the instructor likes to incorporate some fun stuff in the training at the end of class). I won, by the way. 
I think it is sprained. It doesn’t really bother me too much.
Yep, I started Taekwondo last night. I have always wanted to take martial art classes. But growing up in a small town didn’t offer many perks like martial arts classes, and I just never had the funds when I was single or didn’t have kids.
My oldest son (5 years old) has been going for about 6 months now, and I am usually the one to take him and sit in the parent’s section and watch. So I figured, why not? I joined last night. I went tonight as well. My son is helping me learn the step sparring and the self defense moves.
I am having a great time, and I hope it will help me lose some weight. Maybe Mike Rothman and I can have a Biggest Loser contest! The loser (the one who loses LESS weight – not the Biggest Loser,…uhhhh, I’m confused) buys the beer at RSA.
I guess it should be light beer. *YUCK*
** Taekwondo Toe Update: The bruise is now moving up my foot. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing.

Well, I have to admit, this is the first toe-blogging I have ever seen!
Good for you! I always wished I had taken martial arts classes, too. Maybe I will, but something that’s low-impact … I like my toes!
You have to admire a wife who tells her husband he’s just being a big baby.
Like it wasn’t bad enough that you kept showing me your toe every couple of hours…..you felt like it was necessary to share with the whole world? Nice, Michael!!!!
Love you (and your jacked up toe)!
