More aches and pains today.. I am still recouping from Thursday night's sparring class.  Ha.
Even still I had a good day and I did get two classes in and was able to get a good bit of requirements done. I was also able to make up some miles thanks to the weather and managed to shave a few seconds off my time. Still not able to run an entire mile but am working on a run/walk program. I did some pull ups yesterday and today that I have never been able to do before without the assistance of a band. I'm Still not able to do the required pull up but I feel like I have made some improvement.  Since the weather was so nice I spent some more time outside working on my punching bag. I concentrated on red and high red belt self defenses.  And while I was at it I got in some sparring rounds.  I loved today's weather.   Sparring class Today I learned some things I did not know. When I can learn something new I get to remind myself that I am not really an old dog, cause you know they can't learn new tricks.
