Written by This was a hard week for me. I taught the two morning classes and took my two classes. I wore a mask so I would not pass on covid to anyone. I had gotten over the worst symptoms of covid, but I still had some that made it hard to train. I still can’t taste or smell. I have had a terrible headache and runny nose with a slight cough that refuses to go away. The mask made it difficult to breathe when I did kata and sparring. I was so tired during my classes. I felt like I could only give 50%. It was not good enough. I hope I get better soon so I can give 100% to karate.

I hope you’re feeling better. If illness (or anything else) pulls you down so you “could only give 50%” , I would argue that that is good enough and that you give yourself grace for doing what you could at the time.
