Poomsae class this morning ended with some belt stretches...I need to be stretching more. Doesn't always feel the best when you're doing it but you definitely feel better later for it. My right knee is bothering me a bit so no running today at the gym. I walked half a mile waiting for my husband to meet me and then we worked out together. Lots of chest and shoulders today, my arms feel quite heavy right now. Then while he was finishing up I grabbed a mat and finished up with sit-ups, some plank...so hard after the workout, and then some more stretches. No jumprope today but I'll double up tomorrow.  CJ, my oldest, attacked me this afternoon for self-defenses and my day was complete. Finishing up some laundry now and then updating my requirements on the website. Have a great week everyone!
