It seems like my trip to the beach was so long ago even though it was just last weekend. The weather was ideal and we had fun just hanging out on the beach. Matthew has wanted to ride in a helicopter, so we took a short tour up the coast too. That was fun! After a busy half week at work, Saturday started with Junior Tigers, Family class, and then Sparring seminar with Master Hama, Grandmaster Caan and Master Abdul. A lot of students came to spar and it was a lot of fun. It was great to watch the younger kids spar, get some coaching and then actually react appropriately to the coaching. After sparring, Master Evins gave me my 2nd Dan Kukkiwon certificate. How cool is that!
This afternoon I went for about a 9 mile bike ride with Bob and Matthew to the greenway then to the elementary school and then back home. The hill by the elementary school is tough. I’m hoping my soreness tomorrow is not excessive.
