Monday

Monday was an awesome day! It started with me waking at 4:30 and going for a 1.5 mile walk/run in the neighborhood even though it was 41 degrees. Then coming home to do some sit-ups, push-ups, etc. After work I went to my usual school, South Charlotte and helped with the Little Tigers/Jr. Tigers from 6:00-6:30. After that I went to North Charlotte for Black Belt class and we worked on Bocho Dan one step self defense in a unique way. I learned some corrections/fine tunings that need to be practiced on Bocho Dan one step. I was partnered with Amy Tucker (who also happens to be my mentor) during Black Belt class.
