I was able to get my requirements done early. My knees were feeling pretty tight....more than likely from jumping rope. I iced my knees and took some ibuprofen in preparation for sparring later. That helped tremendously! Afterwards, Instructor Gabe helped me with staff form 2. It is SO long, but I think I will really like it when I get it down pat. Rest up!!!
I woke up late and went down to the pool then went down to the beach and walked 2 1/2 miles then played some games had dinner then played some games of Skip-Bo. Good night
Today i went to camp as always. I basically did class twice because me and a couple of friends did a lot in the morning. I knocked out my requirements and started my day. I'm feeling good about this cycle and i'm getting my mentor Saturday. Still working on my mentee situation. Besides from that i didn't really do anything. Okay i'm done blogging.
Today was a very funny day. Last night Flynn was watching chicken little and then he found one of the most ugliest characters in the movie. Then we just started to die in laughter. It’s been fun with my friend but we get it down when it’s time for requirements.
Today, I finished my requirements before assisting a high belt class. I got both a leadership credit and a class assistance credit. After the class, I ate dinner and ran outside for 1.5 miles. I am considering running outside in the morning instead of the evening. I will see you on Friday.
normal day. did requirements, played games, went to class, and ran. the ac guy came over today. I worked on hapkido for my mentor. my mentee wasnt there so i had to ask someone else.then i ran 2 miles. declan got 18 min i got 22 min.
During the day, I did some requirements, then read my book before going to class for leadership credit and sparring class. After that I played video games and then rested after all the kicking I did. Tomorrow I'm going to see Deadpool & Wolverine premiere day.
Today I woke up this morning and did some of my 5th grade work and some of my typing skills on my computer. Then I did some taekwondo and just reviewing my poomases and self defenses. I ran a mile with my Dad and exercises. Last I went to the jr tiger class to get my assistant credit and went to the senior tiger class to get my leadership credit. And now I need 5 more leadership credit and assistance credit then I have finished those requirements. I will still go and help students.
Today is my birthday I am 10!! Today I woke up, thinking I was getting breakfast in bed But I got pop tarts. At least they’re the brown cinnamon Am I right? Anyways, I had to do requirements I know on your birthday. After requirements, we picked up Caleb to go to dinner, baby! We went to kung fu noodle. I think I’m full but I have Room for ice cream cake Yum Yum Yum! I’m super excited for all my birthday presents. They’re all awesome! Anyway, that was my day. See you later fans!

He loved it then he opened one from the whole Family then we did our requirement we picked up Caleb and went to dinner Then we went to taekwondo and helped out with a class. I almost told everybody that was Ethan’s birthday. After that we did sparring at the end of sparring we got to sing happy birthday to Ethan and Kick Ethan
Hey guys - I went to sparring today and it was fun. We worked on stretch kicks, cupcake kicks, jumps, twist jumps and lots of other stuff. When I came back home I watched Olympic Rugby. It looks awesome, I would like to try rugby. I'm getting ready for bed now. See you at black belt class tomorrow.
Hey guys, today was a very chill day, I played video games with my brothers, drew, and read. I went for a walk and I went to sparring class. I got a leadership 1 and 2 also. I now have both my mentee and mentor now and plan on doing a session with each tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
Interesting day! Work was not bad but a ton to do. Especially getting back from time off. Trying to get a crown tooth fix today and they need to replace. And someone hit my car in way home today. All is good and everyone was okay. So trials are what make us stronger. I did miss Sparring so will need to figure that out now. Going to do some requirements and move on. Tomorrow is a new day. Take care.
Today I woke up and did my requirements for teakwondo. Then I did my chores and the rest of my school. Then I played with my dog Wesley. Then I played a game with my sister and watch a movie with her. Then I went to teakwondo and did 2 classes. Now I’m doing for the day.
Good afternoon, hope your are all doing well. Lost track of the days, so now I'll just put the date as my title. Hope the rain will stop. Doing my requirements right now.
Good morning everyone! I have just made incredible progress. I used to jump-rope very slowly like 15-25 per minute but now, i can go 50-65 per minute! lots of progress is in the works.
Tired is an understatement. Trying to balance camp, home, blackbelt cycle, classes......going to be a real challenge once school begins. Anxiously waiting my new sneakers and hoping they work.
Today guys, guess what! I get to go to work! Again! It shouldn't be that bad, today I'm working 2:00 to 7:30, and I hope I make it through the summer camp hours. I've already finished my requirements, and I'm now getting ready to play some games, then later head over to TKD. Anyway, I hope your guy's days aren't this long and busy, but I hope you all have a great day and make sure others have one too! Bye!
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a great day. I finished off a lot of my civics assignments, and I am finally on the last module! Yesterday was also my dad's birthday and we had a lot fun yesterday. His form of fun is to sleep and me, my mom, and my brother to give him a massage. After that, I finished my requirements, and we decided to stay at home instead. Today, I woke up pretty late and my goal for today is to finish all the assignments for my civics class. I really hope my schedule for school comes in today, because it's been getting delayed. After I finish most/all of my assignments, I will meet my requirements. Have a wonderful day!
Finished one of my black belts essays, I was half way finished in the first cycle, so I’m glad I completed it. Especially with the pre-Korean history one I have started in yet. I will probably revamp/edit the others ones I have completed, just because my life has change so much, even from the beginning of the year. I also made a study guide poster of the Korean flag. I worked on my very small garden (two blueberries bushes, and a blackberry) I kind of fell off with consistency taking care of them, so I repotted them and cleaned them up. One of the blueberry bushes looks like a stick in a pot. The other two look much better. I really hope the makeover rejuvenates them.About to go bed, but I’ll wake up an do requirements before I go to work.
More distruptions at home with the construction and i had to get up early so i had very low energy at class tonight. But I'm glad i went.
Black belt class today at North Charlotte. We practiced combinations and poomse. Got some requirements done earlier, still going easy on the muscles.
Today went by very quickly. I got many of my requirements done earlier than usual so I spent some time relaxing. I went to the dojang early to help out with class and get a mentor session in. Then black belt class and a mentee session.
We're a dozen days in. I think this cycle is 12 weeks so... we're 1/7th of the way done? I think I'm almost done wrapping up my current tasks at work (which is good) before I can start in on the big quarterly regression testing (very time consuming). I'm really going to have to get better about making time for my requirements. I'm not having problems with the daily ones but I'm starting to fall behind on the weekly ones (mileage, planks, etc.) Black Belt Class is getting quite big at this point. I know some of it is from the cycle but I know not everyone's there for that. Plus Instructor Courtney came to North Charlotte and we've got some new faces of our own as well. Once of which I have, apparently, picked up as a second mentee. After class we were mentored and reviewed Second Dan special and then...
I went to Master Evins school for Wednesday black belt class. It was a great class, and I'm really glad we worked on our jumping kicks. Besides that, and going to Lake Norman King Tiger to assist with class, I'm kind of tired. After work, my friend wanted to skate for a little bit, so we did. Then I went home to sleep. Then I ran a few errands and prepare for our trip next week. Then Taekwondo. Then I came home and napped some more. I'm a bit more awake now, I think I'm going to clean for a bit. It so easy to get cluttered during the weekday. We moved recently and the bigger space and the decluttering helps alot with not feeling overwhelmed. Just building easier cues that lead to less clutter. Going to make brownies for my partner when he comes home, I promised to do that...
Today was spent mostly traveling. From where we were stating to the airport was about 2 hours and then a 2 hour flight home; followed by an hour to taxi, get our bags, and drive home. Overall, I had a very boring day as I spent most the day on my phone or sleeping during our traveling, but before we left New York we went on a nice 3.5 mile hike in the mud (was surprisingly very fun).
I had my usual full day....not a minute is wasted on the BBC. I met with my mentor and I am feeling better about my bolo form. Also, I met with my mentee and worked on poomsae and self-defense. Afterwards, black belt class led by Grandmaster Evins with plenty of kicks and poomsaes to practice and I was quite sweaty. Peace out!!
Today, I finished all of my requirements after lunch. Then, I attended my black belt class and had my first mentor session. After the class, I ate dinner and ran for 1.5 miles. Have a good night.
I woke up and I did my usual things in the morning went for my run and just relaxed. Our neighbors next door just got some new puppies and I have to take care of them for a little bit while they are gone. The nice thing is that I am excited to do so because I love puppies so much and it will probably be pretty easy. Then I went to work and that is always fun and that was about it. When I came home my mom made amazing chicken parmesian for dinner and it tasted as good as it looked.
When I woke up today I started with doing my pull-ups, I rested for a bit before starting the rest of my exercises, I am getting used to the procedures for this cycle at this point. An hour after all that I once again start reading my book for the essay.
I woke up around seven and went down to the beach and got in a walk I Went up to the pool then did my exercise then I went to the arcade. Good night
Today I woke up and got caught up on some requirements. I practiced my viola before my lesson. After my lesson mom and I went to Ben and Jerry’s for ice cream. Then we had to go to Target because they messed up moms order last week. I have finally gotten my charging cord that broke. I also took my dog for a walk. Now I am going to bed.
Today I woke up and did my Requirements for teakwondo. Then I woke up my friend and then we ate jello and pancakes for breakfast. Then we played just dance on the Nintendo. Which is a dancing game. Then we played with my dog Wesley. Then we played a game on the Nintendo again. Then I went to the pool. Then I went to teakwondo with my dad and we did two classes and now we are done for the day.
Today I had a drivers Ed class for 5 hours. We learned about signs, their colors and what each color means. I will have class again tomorrow before class and sparing.
I got to the dojang too late to really help with class. I did get there in time for black belt class and got a mentor session in with Master Cavazos before leaving. Lots and lots of kicks today, and looking forward to Saturday to train for single stick forms. We take a LOT of classes, on the cycle or not. Recently my uniform is soaked even after one class, so we are constantly doing laundry just to have a fresh one for class. No, we don't febreze uniforms and put them back on (you're welcome, those of you who take class with me!)
24 24. Got up early today (1:30 pm) and did my run / walk. Went home and did some practice and physical requirements. Helped out with the youth class at 5:40 and took black belt class for a total of 3 credits today. Got home and did my German before going to sleep.
Today was a very sour day. we first woke up then went to visit my Popple in the hospital. then we got ready to go and get our requirements done. Then we head to taekwondo and after we went to do our run.
Today we went to the hospital to see Declans grand dad. Then we went home and did our requirements and played a game for a little bit. Then to class to get our credits and mentor/mentee.Then our run. I did 2 miles tonight because I am going camping
This morning me and my dad went to the park to run my mile and then I did some of my 5th grade work since I am going to 5th grade. I went to taekwondo to help jr Tigers and take some classes for my leadership credit and class assistance. Last I am thankful I get to do this cycle because this will help me get stronger and this will push me to get better.
Good evening to everyone, another average day in the cycle. My muscles started to get sore again but i'm sure its normal. Keep doing all you're requirements!
Today I woke up and ate pancakes and eggs and then played with Callie and Ellie. Kiki‘s grandchildren Kiki is our babysitter. Tomorrow is my birthday happy birthday to me. I have so much fun stuff planned tomorrow. After I went home, I ate dinner, which was hotdogs and hamburgers, and then Went to taekwondo, then help out with the class and then had a mentor session with master Marcus, and that was my day today!!
Today I got Back from my favorite person’s house Kiki! She has grandchildren And they are babies so we got to play with them and then we went home ate hotdogs for dinner. I had a mentor session with Master Chelley when I got to taekwondo, and that was my day.
Today i got my requirements done mostly in the morning. I'm feeling like my arms are turning into spaghetti but i'm gonna push on. i ran a mile in 7.06 minutes :D. I was at camp alot of the day and went to the gym to do some more requirements like pull ups and jump rope. Okay i'm done now todays entry was a little short because nothing really happened.
Today I went to king tiger and went swimming and then went back and helped out in classes
Hi guys today I will be talking about today and how I played outside. first I ran my mile of course. after that I played tag with my friends then came inside to write this journal
hey again guys, I just wanted to say thank you to Asa for saying what he did, it lifts my spirits that you think of me that way Asa thank you. Anyway, This week has been pretty busy for me, so far, on Monday I woke up at 6:30 to go and work with summer camp, then on Tuesday, I woke up at 5:00 in the morning to do requirements and go work in the summer camp. Today was slower, I woke up at 7:30 and ate breakfast, got my requirements done, and played some videogames so everything is good. After my gaming time, me and Jack went to go to a Chiropractor appointment and got ourselves fixed up and fine tuned, plus, we still have like 25 free visits there, might as well use them. When we got back, I played some more games then went to work. I started...
Today when I woke up I had a good breakfast. I went to Champions and did all my requirements. My sister, my sitter and I went to Lake Norman putt-putt mini golf. I didn't get a hole in 1, but I did get some in 2. After that we got a snow-cone and came home. I went to Taekwondo and did a mentee session. Have a great day tomorrow everyone!
Hello everyone, I was same routine as I do everyday, wake up, eat workout, repeat. Today I had the same cereal, and went to the gym to do my exercises. I like doing exercises because it can help you get stronger and show you places that you need to improve, It can also help do things you never thought you could do. Then we went to a farmers market outside our gym, we got some tomatoes and spices for skin. Once we got home I played some games, hung around my house, and then went to TKD. As usual, I helped with the first class and took the next one, I was able to get stuff marked off and
Good afternoon, I just started my requirements for the day. I have a Back Belt class. I also got started on my essay on Atomic Habits by James Clear. Hope everyone is doing good.
I'm up and doing some of my physical requirements. I'm still struggling with pull ups / hanging for a few reasons......1. I played soccer, so no upper body strength. 2. Due to health conditions, I've never been permitted to do pull ups...maybe a resister band would help? I've also ordered a pair of 'Altra' running /walking sneakers. I hope these help with my knee and having to use the sidewalk. I really don't want to waste money at a gym. Few more requirements and off to camp to meet with my mentee. I'm so proud of her! She knows the first 10 steps to her poomsae and can do it on her own! She is also beginning to remember numbers 1-3 in her self defense. Better yet, she gave me a hug and thanked me for helping her!!! 🤗
Hi King Tiger. Have been away in NY. Missed a few journals but doing one today. The weather is great and getting good runs in with my daughter (Lexi) and Nate. The elevation is not terrible but we found a few crazy hills. I think we are going hiking today as well. Love NY this time of year. Back to NC tomorrow. Take care.
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. My requirements are starting to build on me again, and sometimes I feel so sore that it's just numb at that point. I am starting to focus more on the technique and form of my requirements than just knowing them. After finishing only 2 of my civics course assignments, I headed to TKD. As usual, I helped out with summer camp, and then classes started. On my way back home, my brother loves to do random things in the car, and we had a lot of fun with that. Today, I woke up pretty early, and I'm about to start finishing my civics assignments. I'm going to say I will never take an online course again, but I'll probably end up taking one. Later today, we will probably go out since it's my dad's birthday, and I will finish my requirements sometime today....
Each day is a huge achievement. I was able to get some requirements done after work, but could not run because I broke my treadmill. The soreness went down a notch and I was relaxed for most of the day. Had lots of protein. I also spent some time entertaining the wife and kids today.
I feel like I have spent the whole day sweaty. Took Samuel to an appointment this morning and while I was waiting for him to finish up I worked on requirements in the waiting room (it was just Rachael and me there so I didn't have to be concerned about being stared at). Then we went to the gym for an hour of spin class, then home to try and cut the grass before it rained. It looked like the clouds were building a bit so I asked the kids if they wanted to go to the pool before the storms hit. So more sitting outside, covered in sweat, with little pieces of grass in my hair and over my skin. Then helping with class, taking class and PMAA class after that. I had forgotten just how sweaty you can be ALL. DAY. LONG.
Today was just another repetition of yesterday. I’ve officially accepted that the rest of my days will look like this. The requirements have kicked my butt and every now and then it hurts to move.
Tuesdays always the long day, made my way to TKD to help out with the 8-12yr old class for a credit. Then took the advanced and pma class. We worked on my breaking kick (Hurricane back kick) and did some good stick drill. Practiced my German and finished up my essays when I got home.
I woke up today and did more requirements, then headed to class today to do leadership credits. After class, I did a mentor session with Master Marcus for 2nd Dan self-defense. Unfortunately, our WiFi went out, so we’re left without most of our tech working for a while.
Ah, yes, Tuesday. This is the "long" day, even outside of the Cycle. Today I got a bunch of work done for work and finished up my physical requirements before we headed down to the dojang. I helped with class, then took color belt class, and then we had PMAA. Master Evins is focusing primarily on kicks this week as review so we got paired up and the Bo-Chos got to start working on their hurricane back kicks. I'm often reminded that I wish I had started this when I were younger and it was easier to do things but that just makes me relish the fact that we did start when we did and we're still active. As Master Weeks often says, it's better to hurt from doing martial arts than to hurt just from trying to get up off the couch. Then after PMAA, I worked with my mentee...
Do to the nature of when i work i'm struggling to find the time to do all the requirements daily. I work 3rd shift so i typically go to sleep around 9:30 in the morning and sleep until 5:30pm. Get up make dinner for my wife and kid then head to class. After class I shower and then log into work at 11pm. There is a gap there between about 8 and 10:30 but having not been a person who exercises this much i'm not sure how to do more when i'm so worn out from class? I log off at 7am but during the summer with no school this is the time between 7 and 9am when i get to interact with my son the most. On top of that all of this construction and mold remediation going on in my house isn't helping with trying to get a routine down...
Today was the last full day of vacation in the Adirondacks, New York. I have really enjoyed this vacation. A few highlights from today was going out on the boat and quickly turning back because it started down poring. I also did a run workout with my sister, it was good, except I ate it on a hard turn since the roads were soaked; got myself a nice mark on my hip, luckily I did an amazing side fall. I also saw the new Twister movie in this old and antique cinema. Overall, this trip has been amazing and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
I was able to get some requirement done, Leadership 1 & 2 , a session with my mentor, TKD class and PMAA class. I can do no more. My Mom records Jeopardy on my work days. Right now, I got the ice packs on my knees, top and bottom, and I am enjoying the shows. Have a goodnight, everyone!
Today was an amazing day!! I went to taekwondo and I hung out with my puppy. I also played with my friends. I hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday and tomorrow will be a wonderful Wednesday. Good night!!! P.S. Today is national lemon and Grandma day!!! ~Magnolia~
Today I woke and did my essay and school. Then I took a run with my dog Wesley. Then I went over to my friends house.Then we decided that we wanted to have a sleepover then we took a another run. Now I am done for the day.
Today was another busy day. First woke up at 9:38 and surprisingly flyn slept till 1:00 in the afternoon. Also flyn stayed up waching chaso. Then we worked on our requirements and then we went to taekwondo then went to do our run then came home and have dinner.
Today I went to the Chiropractor and got myself adjusted for my shoulder that has been hurting for a little while, it started to feel better after a little bit. Then of course knowing the type of person I am, reinflamed my shoulder and now is hurting a little bit. Other than that it was just a usual day with doing requirements and all sorts of fun things. Then I went to work where I helped out with classes and did the rest of my requirements. Over all it was an exciting and very fun day.
I woke up very late today- 12:00 pm! then i started some of my requirments. then i played fortnite a litttle bit and also vr. then we went to taekwondo to finish my requirements and get a mentee session. but i had trouble breathing on the run. it was a good day.
Today, I went to my sister's eye checkup in the morning. After the checkup, I ate lunch and completed my requirements. I then assisted a junior tiger class and attended a senior tiger class. After the classes, I ran for one mile and created a rough draft of my role model essay. Have a good evening.
Today was harder sense today I did no electronics for the challenge I went out to the pool and was there for a couple hours then we went down to the beach and came up about a couple hours later then did some exercise and listened to a new jack white album. Good night
Today I did my workout in the morning and ran in the afternoon after that I went to king tiger and did mini golf and got a hole in 1 I was happy and then I did my classes and punches and kicks and did a mentor session.
Hello everyone, I am writing this journal 8:40 PM so I bet some of you are asleep. But today I woke up the and had breakfast and went to the gym, same as yesterday. But when I am running my miles I can see improvement so that is good. I was able to finish my exercises and get better, then when we got home I rested played a little bit of video games watched Batman V.S. Superman, good movie in my opinion. (Batman is my favorite.) then I had lunch was able to hang out in my house and play games. After that we went to TKD and assisted the first class and took the next one. I got stuff crossed off there and had fun. Then once we got home I went to a Church activity and was able to talk to missionaries that I had not seen in years...
This week has been super busy with work, so it's been a challenge fitting everything in, but still keeping it manageable. My shins are still hurting, but I got some better running shoes, so hopefully that helps.
The highlight of my day is reading Evan Trogdon’s journals because it just lifts my spirits because he is happy all the time. Also love reading about a puppy named Fred. Just got back from NC and I am prepared to catch up on requirements, journals, and tracking. Goodnight everyone.
Today i was at camp for most of the day but i left camp a little early so i can get my requirements done. It was easier then yesterday so thats good. Looking forward for tomorrow so i can knock that out. Got my poomsae and self defense done and did my kicks also. I'm going to get a mentor tomorrow and probably a mentee too. okay i'm done now.
I went to camp today and we did a contest with exercises so I got some requirements done. In like an hour I have basketball practice.
today I went to a sports camp which we do football, basketball and other sports in, and we went to freedom park to have some fun there. Then when we came back I went outside to play basketball and work on my skills. then I came home and now I'm getting ready to go
Good afternoon, Just got finished doing my requirements for the day. Got to see my Grandma today also. Good luck.
Good afternoon to everyone, average day in the cycle. A lot of sweat maybe even some blood and tears. Make sure to do everything that you need to do in the following days, try not to fall behind, it adds up!
It's another wonderful day if blackbelt cycle. I think in-between lunch and snack at camp, I might be able to get some of my physical requirements in. I also need to find a pair of running / walking sneakers with support. All the sneakers I have are not working. I'm almost done with my required reading. So I will be able to write that essay soon. I will also be done with my nutrition challenge at the end of July, however, I think I may keep adding / trying new foods. Off to feed all the furniture babies then camp.
Travel Troubles. I'm supposed to be in Iowa, but I'm back home. I spent my afternoon and evening yesterday waiting at the airport for a plane that never left. Thankfully I finished all the physical requirements before I left, although I did think about doing some pushups while waiting. There were so many people, the most I've ever seen in CLT. Now to get started with todays activities!
Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a good day. After finishing most of my requirements, I went to TKD. I helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then classes started. Sometimes the classes seem to go by so quickly, which surprises me at times. I got a mentor session in yesterday with Master Natasya and got in a weekly black belt class. I had a lot of fun in the 2nd and higher class, since I finally learned number 6 of the 3rd Dan 1-Step. Today, I woke up around 5:15, but I decided to stay in bed until 6. I came downstairs and started finishing my civics assignments for today and yesterday, since I only had time to finish 2. Hopefully, I can finish my assignments and requirements before I head to TKD today. Have a wonderful day!
Hey, guys, how's it going? I'm tired, very tired. Yesterday was CRAZY, I mean like I got up at like 6:30 in the morning (which is early for me) and since my brother is doing a different summer camp, I was dropped off at 7:30. Anyway, my work started at 8:00 AM and ended at 3:00 PM. When I got home, I played an hour and thirty minutes of videogames then went back to TKD, and helped with a class and took the next. After we got back, I did my exercises, and I ate dinner then went into my Korean study lesson to learn the language. After the lesson, I went and finished my requirements, and played another hour of videogames. This morning I woke up at 5:00 in the morning and went to run 2 miles at the Rec center and finish my requirements for the day, now I...
Finish the physical requirement for today. Cooling off with some stretches, I haven’t been consistent and while I can still do a split, I can definitely feel the difference. I started working on my physical requirements yesterday (7/22) Around 10pm. I finished around midnight, but I took a break and decided to finish some of my physical requirement for today. I’m glad I did, that means I have more time this even to do other things. I’m worried about progressing, especially as a taekwondo practitioner. A lot of the advancements I want to make or things I have to work on on my own to an extent. I want to have more explosive powers with my jumps, I want to have more strength and control of my kicks. That’s not something that’s easy to get in class, if I’m not really working on it. It’s in the cycle be panicking about things like thats,...
I went to the eye doctor in the morning and my vision was blurry for a few hours from the dilation drops. I was able to knock out requirements during that time though, so it wasn’t too unproductive. Headed to the dojang to help out with class in the evening.
This morning I worked on my Pomsae and exercises with my Dad. We went to the park and ran a mile and my time is getting better. After my agility training we finished my exercises and I was really tired. Today was a good day and I’m getting stronger from doing so many pushups and burpees.
Requirements are difficult on workdays. When I got home this morning, I did not feel like doing anything but managed to get some things done before sleeping. Stiffness kicks in very fast when I am not mobile. This cycle is really making me feel my age and it is only the second week. Goodness gracious!
Today is the actual start of the week. I am still sore, but it’s nothing much. It was hard doing the requirements, so I did some, as overdoing it would make it worse.
I woke up early and went down to the beach with my family then went up to the pool and relaxed then played games then did my exercise then the rest of the day I was tired then I played Skip-Bo with my family. Good night.
Woke up exceptionally sore this morning. I think I was more sore this morning than I was on Sunday. I think it's all worked itself out just from all the everyday cycle stuff. That's one of my favorite non-Taekwondo things I've learned from doing this - you might be sore in the morning but once you get moving, all the lactic acid will clear out and you won't feel too bad other than just general muscle soreness. I got my daily physical requirements done at home and worked on the other stuff at the dojang before helping with class. I finally got a chance to do a session with my mentee; he seems really excited about getting some extra help and tricks and tips.
Got up early to practice my German and do my run, then i went to bed again. go up about 5:30 and went to 6:30 class for a leadership credit.
I was so tired after the pre test that i neglected to blog this past weekend. The pre test was tough as i had not run that much in probably 20 years. Stairs were definitely a problem this past weekend. Still trying to find a rythm and and way to fit in all the requirements every day and week.
I guess my day is really just starting. I got off work at 8 AM, You’re so busy last night I didn’t get to work on my requirements. Then I took a quick cat nap and went to witness my friends marriage. Then I went back home I took another cat nap. Then I woke up and went to taekwondo. I work with my mentees on how the properly prep blocks and punches in poomsaes. I remember when Master Natasya and Marcus started drilling on it with adult and higher belts. But I can see that they worked really hard on drilling so that every student works on it. That’s amazing, cause I definitely see the improvement in how strong our students can be. So much potential! I remember when we first started working on them, and my poomsaes improved so much. Then I came home and took another nap. So...
I feel like I’m struggling because of the soreness. I find myself cheating with a lot of the kicks and forms, not hanging the leg, no chambering, sloppy stances, and almost no lift when doing jump kicks. Just feels like my body is about to explode after the jump rope and burpees. Nonetheless, I had completed another daily requirement and made sure I learned something new today as usual. Prepping and longing for when I do feel stronger.
Today was a very busy day. First, Keleigh and I went to tutoring, then I got some requirements done with Flynn. Then we went home to get changed for the pool, after that we came home and got ready for taekwondo. After that Flynn and I went to go on our run.
Today we went to the library and did our requirements at the park. Then we left and ate lunch then went to the pool. We then went to taekwondo to help out and finish our requirements. Then we took class and had a mentor session after and also a mentee. Then finished our run and ate sloppy joes for dinner. It was a good day.
Today, I finished all of my requirements before attending my black belt class. At the class, I lead the kicks for a leadership credit. After the class, I ate dinner and ran outside for 1.3 miles. I will try to assist a class tomorrow. Have a good evening.
I hope everyone had a marvelous Monday and tomorrow will be a terrific Tuesday! Today I woke up and a breakfast while I played with My puppy Fred! I got dressed and got ready for the day when I went back downstairs I found Fred waiting for me in the living room! Went upstairs and me And Fred hung out until lunch time. We ran around. He ate some of his toys, and I rubbed his belly at one point he was asleep laying in my lap. My lunch and then me and Fred continued to hang out. I even taught him how to walk up the stairs. I got ready for taekwondo and my mom took me there. I helped out at the 5:15 class and took the 6 o’clock class. I hope everyone had a marvelous Monday!!! Good night Everyone and I hope tomorrow it terrific!!! P.S. Today is...
