End of the First Week!

Happy Friday! I slept in late again and went for a nice run. The temperature felt wonderful and I had my best 2 mile time yet. My neighborhood is pretty tiny, theres really only 2 or 3 streets so it gets boring pretty fast. Hopefully I can go to the greenway this weekend and knock out a good 3 or 4 miles on some flat ground. Overall today wasn't bad, I got my requriements done and went to TKD at 2p.m. to help with summer camp and classes. Rolls and falls before BBC and then some good work on color belt and black belt poomsaes and self-defenses. I was really sore for some reason today, hopefully it will be better tomorrow. My family went to one of my favorite Mexican restaurants for dinner and then came home and relaxed the rest of the night. I hope everyone's first week of cycle was good! Keep pushing on, I wish I could say it gets easier, but it doesn't. You do however learn to manage your time and energy better and thats super important in anything that you do. Have a great weekend! ~ Peyton
