Morning Routine, Finally

I woke up this morning, read my bible app and went outside to check the weather.  I started my workout this morning with Black Belt Samery on YouTube.  I completed a ten minute high kick routine, a ten minute stretch for higher kicks routine and six minutes of a ten minute jump rope routine.  I was supposed to get some Poomsaes in since I scheduled Poomsae's in the morning and running, self defense and exercises in the afternoon.

This afternoon I completed my two-mile run with my dog.  It was our first time running outside since the rain and cold weather.  The weather was perfect to run in and being outside was a great change from the treadmill.

This evening we practiced self-defense in our black belt class.  The higher we got, the worse I performed.  I realized that up to this point, I've been working on the same self defenses and had not moved along to practice the next level.  It is a big difference practicing with someone rather than practicing with the air.  After class, I attempted a pull up and I successfully broke a "brick" board.
