Hi tireing...

Hi tireing day today. Had my rowing workout from 4-5 then straight to Tae Kwon Do to help with one class then take the next, sparring. Got 150 Sit ups and 150 Push ups per day today and hopefully I can keep that going.

A new seme...

A new semester started at school. i have a math class now and I'm to expect plenty of work so I'll have to use my time management skills to leave no time unused. Master Hartle is helping me out with planning classes and making sure I stay on track. I really appreciate that, thank you. :)

Today was ...

Today was good. I had rowing practice today. 45 minutes of straight, nonstop rowing. I was really exhausting and it has to be my least favorite rowing workout. I did about 11K, or eleven kilometers. My dad says that roughly converts into 1km rowing per 1 mile running. But Rowing also uses the Quads, calves, arms, chest, back and abs. But also it's not as effective in flexibility and agility as running is. I'd have to talk to Master Hartle about that.

Nothing re...

Nothing really happened today. The day went by quickly and I didn't do stuff I wanted to do or I had to do. I should do more kicks, poomsaes and self-defenses. I have to just been feeling very lazy and tired which is bad.

Another Journal

Today I've been trying to make it a habit of doing requirements through-out the day. Like 25 push ups here, later 25 sit ups, ext... For school we have a 4 day break so I should get all my homework done now so that I don't have to worry about it Tuesday night.

running

I just went running 2.5 miles, even though the weather was really not the best. It was really cold outside, and their was a lot of mist. Everyone went running, except for one of my sisters because she didn't feel good.
