Very good ...

Very good day! Worked my crew pretty hard (and by extension, myself)! They were all doing push ups, sit ups, jumping rope by 9 am (without me telling them to) . Let them have some fun at the park and then pulled them away for some poom sae and self defense work. Only meant to work for about 20 minutes but ended up being about 40! Then we ran (walked/ran) 2 miles together around 4:15. It was tough, but now we know what we need to work on! The camper candidates had a Hyper Pro class and the Counselors stayed late and helped with family class and then took the adult class. It was blue stripe (sparring) so.......

Did 3 assisted pull ups today. So hard, but I guess you have to start somewhere.

The King Tiger 5K was great. Have a tradition of running it with Inst Dege, always good to spend time with her. Missed not having Master Randle and the Schneiders there. Really missed not having Master Evins there. Always a different vibe when he is gone!
