Went to the pool today and had lots of fun with friends did requirements earlier this morning
Woke up around 9 am and finished all my requirements by 11 about to go and eat lunch
Today was a good day. I had lots of fun at PMAA class. Learned some cool knife techniques overall good day.
Testing was great yesterday. I can't wait till the tea ceremony soon. I can't thank everyone enough.
Yesterday I got a penny board for my birthday. My birthday happens to be the same day Grand Master Lee comes to our school. It's going to be so much fun.
Today is my brothers birthday. He's 28 so I was able to give home 29 birthday punches. It was very funny. Worried about my punches a week from today.
Today was resting day! It was so fun to rest after a long day yesterday. Yesterday was very fun and a long day too. I can't wait till testing morning!
Today I am not feeling the greatest. I drank some vitamin c drink. I hope it will work and help me be ready for my physical.
Today I went to church in the morning. Then later I went and got my costume for Halloween. Then later after that I went and got my bush.
Today was BBC it was lots of fun. Later we saw the new Left Behind movie. After that we went home and I mowed the lawn.
Today after 2 class at Tae Kwon Do I was done at 7:45. I then began waiting as everybody left I was still waiting and waiting. After 15 mins I called and he realized he had forget me.
Today my friend William and I went to a Fall Festival in Denver. We went on all these awesome rides there. We actually made money. It was a dollar per ticket and we bought 24 tickets for 20 bucks. We were able to sell our leftover tickets and make some money.
Today we did a science experiment about fossils. It was lots of fun. I have sparring class later!
Today I was assigned my social studies project for the colonial period. I was assigned to make a Quill and Ink. It looks really easy and really fun.
Today my friend Dillon and I went to a corn maze. Dillon turned on his pedometer and we got in a little over a 5k! It was so much fun and we completed it in an 1hr and 38 min.
PMAA Camp over the weekend was amazing. I got so many awesome credits and had so much fun. We walked a lot to go to eat lunch and do other things. I got more than a 5k walk in on Saturday!
Today I helped out with testing at the LKN King Tiger location. It was lots of fun. Everybody I saw broke their board eventually! No Kiddies cried! :D
Today my sister in law and I went to a outdoor workout park and went through it. It was my first time going to one. It was super fun and we plan on doing it again.
My pushups have dramatically improved. My brother has helped me improve greatly. It's an amazing difference doing the amount I can do now in a row versus when I started the black belt cycle.
Today in sparring class we did Korean Dancing. We also got in some jump rope rounds and sparring rounds of course. Really enjoyed it as always.
School is going good. I have a couple of great teachers. Science class is so much fun. We do notes one day and experiments all the next day. I'm enjoying very much.
Yesterday we got a pullup bar that we installed. It was only $20 and for what I got it was a pretty good investment. It's called the Perfect Pullup Bar. It has all kinds of cool functions and I'm working on my pullups. I will do at least 1 come testing time. Once I get the first one down the rest will come.
Today we did not have Saturday BBC which I always look forward to. My family and I are going to a boardwalk where they have shops and stuff like that later this evening, should be lots of fun.
School has already started assigning worksheets for all subjects. It is review from the year prior but a little surprising from getting that much that quick.
I am have trouble with finding time to do my run. I have fit everything else in but running has been pushed away. I am going to try to get up earlier.
Today was the first day of school. It was very boring and a very long day. The first week is always boring.
Today I went to see the new movie When The Game Stands Tall. It was all about football. It was such a great movie, I really enjoyed going with my mom and grandma. Later I mowed the lawn and got school supplies ready.
Today in we class we were prepping for the Pre-Test on Saturday. Master Chelly said all of our stuff looked great!
I believe I am coming down with a cold. I did not feel good at all today. I have a sore throat and am very tired. I still pushed through the day and did sparring class.
Today I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy and it was a great movie. It was funny and had a great story line. Later on I went for a run which was easy. I seem to be plateauing at 8 min miles.
Today was awesome, because I got my sparring gear! It's so awesome, I was able to use it at sparring class this evening. When I was running today I felt great.
Today was a very fun day being able to go shopping for new clothes for school. I was able to get what I wanted, which consists of basketball shorts and shirts but still got other nicer clothing.
Today at Kate's Skating Rink we were playing a game called wipeout where on purpose you fall when the music stops. So first time music stopped I fell and got up and looked at my pinkie finger and saw my finger was completely sideways at the 2nd joint. I proceeded to freak out. I went over to Master Hartle and he jerked back into place and got me ice and everything, so thank you very much for that! It was an interesting experience. I went to buy a splint at Walgreens and went back to KTA for sparring class.
I workout three times a day. We do body weight exercises during the day at the dojang with other black belt candidates. Then later on we do class and that is always a workout :D. Then when I get home I workout with my sister in-law with actual weights and run some more. In average I run 2.2 miles daily! I'm not complaining or anything It's just a shock to go from being sedimentary at school.
Today I was feeling under the weather. I still told myself to push through Saturday BBC and I didn't do much the rest of the day. I was told to relax and get better by Monday.
Today was a easy day. It was a fun day as well. We had our own little magic show the kids put on! They did very well. Later on they watched a movie while myself and the other black belt candidates did one of my workouts and went running.
Jason Frame came to visit us today at KTA Lake Norman! All the kids and adults enjoyed it. Did some a workout that I have been working on today. Was testing it on other KTA Lake Norman black belt candidates.
Today at Saturday Black Belt Class was so much fun! We did Bo Cho Dan 1 step self-defense 10 times. That got all my self defense for the day done.
Today was fun and relaxing. Was able to get all of my requirements done throughout the day and had fun doing them with all the other candidates at our school.
Today was fun swimming with the kids at KTA Lake Norman. Unfortunately it was called off early due thunder. Learned all standing techniques #1-9 in PMAA today which was very fun.
Everything progresses. Things are getting easier. I ran a 8:30 min. mile. Honestly that may seem easy and all but it's definitely progress from 9:30. Today was very fun with the KTA Lake Norman Summer Camp. We all went bowling and I scored 97 (which is terrible).... Anyways I am not getting sore anymore which is awesome
My days off are still not off. Today was the day I do yard work and other chores around the house. Had an interesting holiday weekend. Thursday morning I took my 15 year old dog (Older than me) to be put down. That was not so fun. Today we had a late Forth of July cookout with my dad's side of the family, they are not very talkative.
Saturday Black Belt Class was so much fun! Was able to get a Leadership 2 credit in for standing at the front and counting for Koryo. Did a lot of fun and interesting partner workout exercises in class as well. Had loads of fun playing Tae Kwon Do Jeapordy!
Today was so much fun! We went to Kate's Skating Rink (Lake Norman Summer Camp)! After we got back all the kiddos were all very tired so all the other people on the cycle and I went for a run and did a mile and then later did another mile before sparring class. I was able to do the last mile with only stopping once (instead of stopping 3 or 4 times) at the half mile point for a mere 10 seconds.
Everything seems to be getting easier, by just a little bit. I am also doubling up on classes on Monday and Wednesdays. I seem to be getting lots of extra push ups, sit ups, poomsaes and self defenses. It's awesome!
Today was difficult, but so rewarding! I went running with the Hartles and a few other black belt cycle candidates from our Lake Norman school. I was able to get a lot of extra stuff in. I am looking forward to tomorrow and the rest of the week!
Today was the first day of the black belt cycle! I am so excited for everything to come! Today was tough, it was hard to realize how hard everything is. The push ups were the hardest. I knocked out 50 at different times, but after that it was difficult to do anymore. With a little perseverance I was able to finish. Talk to you guys Monday.-Evan
