Update
I have been injured over the past six months with a bit of plantar injury from running. However, it really only hurt when I tried to pivot during my technique and kata practice. So in November I decided to take a couple of months off to really get a handle on the injury. With the holidays coming the school would be closed more often so it seemed like a good time to take a rest. Due to the injury I did not have much to say in terms of martial arts. I hope to have more up in January when I get back to my training.
This injury seems like a long recovery. I injured myself back in July and now it is December. I am better but not 100%. I think that I am 85 to 90%, which is better. I can now walk stairs without issue and I can turn with a sharp pain greeting me. I can also kick with strength off my right, which was not the case two months ago. So it looks like a green light on the training for January. Plus, starting in January it will be more difficult to run outside due to poor weather. Injuries suck, but you have to manage them. You don’t want them getting the best of you.
See everyone in January.

I’m sorry to hear about your injury. I’ve had my share of them. I do recommend taking as much time off as you need. In the mean time, you may want to consider volunteering at the school in the classes if it is possible. If you can’t train, next bext thing is to help teach. Good luck.
Sorry to hear the injury hasn’t improved. I hope you are back and training soon.
I am about recovered at this time and the time off the mat has given me some time to reflect a bit on my training.
