Journal 2

Pretty good day. Kids had three hour delay so got a little extra sleep this morning. Needed it a bit. I am definitely not in the shape I was. Lots of work ahead of me, but feeling stronger each day. Push ups and sit ups are getting easier already. Pull ups is a different story... but working on it. It has been challenging running with all the ice and snow. As soon as I hit a wet patch I stop and walk softly as I don't want to hit black ice... too early for a dumb injury. Being cautious. But it slows me down and keeps me from staying on pace. Making it work. I like the daily practice on skills. It is good discipline. Making progress. Looking forward to tomorrow's classes.
