To answer the same question I’m getting over and over and over, yes I am going back to competition. I move back to boston and start training/competing full time again some time in august. So lets everyone chiiiiill out.
I haven’t been writing in my blog lately plainly because I haven’t felt the least bit compelled to. Granted plenty of funny things have happened that made me think
“Oh I should write a blog about that!!” at the time, but of course I’d forget whatever it was and lose the urge to write all together.
Besides I was tired of getting crap over the stuff I was writing about. Yeah I really don’t care about what most of the nay-sayers think - but it can be pretty draining having to have the same conversations, give the same explanations, and have to defend myself, over and over and over again.
Also the blog was turing into more of a monster than I ever intended it to. It went from an effective way of letter writing, to a large part of what I was known for. I guess I also stopped because I saw myself going from “Oh ronda, she’s that blonde girl that likes science and art” to “She’s that girl that does karate or whatever” to “She’s that olympic judo girl” to “She’s that judo girl with the blog” ….. and I was sitting around and thinking… I miss that cute blonde kid that liked science and art….
There’s times when I can tell everyone in my family wished I never did judo at all….well maybe everyone except for julia…. But then I catch myself wishing I could go back to training now. But I know I’m not ready for the 2012 push yet, and I have certain responsibilities to people and leases that i can’t break…. and its cold there right now.
My dog is such a cold wuss, she shivers when she gets out of the bathtub…. she’s gunna HATE boston. But you’ll have to admit looking at a big tough breed like her wearing a christmas sweater would be pretty funny.

…and more importantly, good for you for doing stuff in your own time.

I thought that WAS you and your dog. I started thinking ” she does like art “
and also that’s pretty damn cute.
Happy new year! I hope I catch one of your workshops!
