9/3

I was doing really well with my journals, but have missed a couple now. 

Big thank you to Master Burkart, we spent about 2 hours together on Monday working through the curriculum, and I feel a lot more confident on a lot of the requirements.  I have a few more things to lock in, but I'm super close. 

On the physical requirements, everything is hard this week.  Pushups, runs, pullups, etc all are weak.  I'm not sure what's going on, but I'll figure it out.
