I was a be...

I was a beast today! I did a ton of requirements!. I'll be sore tomorrow, but it feels great not to be sick anymore. Last weekend while I was sick I read a book; "The Martian" (GREAT book) and watched 6 movies (Star Trek marathon-live long and prosper). I didn't move around much and I'm surprised I don't have bedsores. So....I need to make a confession.....if anyone has been looking at my pathetic pull up numbers, I want you to know that it's even worse than it appears. I ATTEMPT to do a pull-up occasionally but I have never been successful without my bungee. I can't even do 1. I still add 1 pull up to my online tracker, because dang it, I tried! They are especially hard with my palms facing out. Pull ups are definitely my nemesis. Tonight I practiced poomsaes, self defense and Hapkido 1-32 again and again and again..... I have to make sure I know my curriculum like the back of my hand so that I can be a good mentor to Donna and Jerome.
