A little progress
I was SO excited today... Doing a negative pull-up My length of time in pull-up position increased 3 seconds. Party at my house!
I was also able to do a few more pushups before my arms totally gave out. I feel like Im making some progress.
I did not run today, its so cold and my shins have been really sore so I thought I might give them a chance to recoup. Considering the temp is not
going up tomorrow I will probably have to get my run/walk in on the treadmill. Not near as much fun as outdoors.
I had a Mentee session today. The young man I am working with has been very attentive. I think he is doing good. By rank he is ready to begin attending our advanced classes. He however has been very nervous about doing so and continues to come to lower belt classes. Before starting our sessions we agreed that at the completion of our mentee sessions he would start attending the advanced classes. We shook on it. We are working on his confidence too.
