Been A While
It's been 6 years since I started my last BB cycle.
It's been almost a year since I have been able to practice my poomse.
Spinal Fusion Surgery in November still limits some of my core strength and endurance.
Reconstructive surgery on my achilles in March still limits my movements and kicks. I am not medically cleared to resume running and jumping for another month, so my pre-test is missing a couple of items.
Overall, feeling good and ready to resume my training.
