Day 17

This is, I believe, our first late night of the Cycle.  I had my allergy shots this morning and had to take Samuel to an appointment this afternoon so my day and my schedule got scrambled.  As a result, we're doing physical requirements and self defenses at 10:30pm.  And it doesn't help that my arm is really itchy from the allergy shot.

I really need to start working ahead so I can take a day off - at least from physical requirements.  I can tell I'm getting stronger, albeit slowly, but my I can't do more than a minute of anything for the day before that set of muscles starts fussing at me.

I worked with my mentee today as well.  He looks like he's already ready for next week's color belt testing; I'm really looking forward to working with him on his next belt because he's so eager to learn.  I believe Master Evins said he used to be a brown belt under some other system so he's performing well above his belt level and is working hard to get to an equivalent rank under King Tiger.  It's going to be very exciting to watch him perform during his BoCho Dan testing once he's worked his way up to that point.

And now, if you'll excuse me, my self defense partner is probably waiting.
