About yesterday #4

Yesterday was a lot I must admit. I went to the Dojang directly after work, I thought I was going to be teaching sparring due to Master Opi being out of town at the Hangmadang. I did not end up having to teach , Master Hurskey from the UNCC Taekwondo program came over and lead class. He explained they do a lot of sparring on the current tournament cycle and one of his students was a current heavy weight champion.  Let me tell you it was no joke, five minutes in I was at heavy breath. I was able to learn some really great drills and techniques to add to my teaching bag. I now realized that I am no longer a twenty something year old , this morning I am paying for it with soreness. Over all it was a great day and I was able to get my first mentor session completed with Master Weeks. I also got my new cushioned runner shoes in so I am going to start to hit some distance running starting this weekend , to get me back in my old habits.
