End of Work Week

​Today was a great end to the workweek. Took the kiddos to the park—it was warm out, but the cloud cover and occasional breeze kept it pleasant.
​I took black belt class this afternoon and learned some new material that I definitely need to practice. Afterward, I went to dinner with my dad, sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew.
​Planning on waking up early tomorrow to get a few miles in before class, hopefully with my son if he wants to join. My knee is pretty sore from sparring yesterday and sports a nice bruise, so hopefully the run goes smoothly. Looking forward to seeing everyone in the morning!
