Day after

Ive been thinking about yesterday's physical test.  I was worried about improving from my pre-test because my body has felt so run down. I was pleased overall and I did improve since the pretest. i was still not able to do a pull up but Instructor Lloyd said "thats a point five" and even that is improvement because I actually had some upward movement. At the beginning of this cycle I had no movement and couldnt even hold my chin above the bar in a hang.  Maybe one day I will actually be able to do a pull up.  This cycle is teaching me that I can do things I didnt think I could... I am stronger than I realized.

Today Ive experienced my normal Sunday soreness. Ha. Seemed a little more intense this morning.   I have tried to do some extra requirements today, still playing catch up.  I spent most of the day between editing and requirements. I would edit a couple subjects then do a few pushups, or poomsaes, or....   I think sitting in the chair editing is tougher on me than the requirements. Sitting still for long periods of time seems to make eveything tighten up more. 

Tomorrow is community service delivery day.  I am so grateful for the many donations I have been able to collect. Everyone has been so generous.  I can only imagine that as a collective group we are going to have quite a bit and make a real difference for the families who are unfortunately having to spend their time at the hospital.
