Today I was at camp and we went to the pool at Linebuger park. After that I went to Taekwondo and did the 5:45 class but, I helped out with the 5:00 class. Then I came home and I did not run today cause I was not feeling well but I still went to class and did my requirements. But overall it was a pretty good day.

today was okay but when I heard about this pretest I really got scared and I hope I get a good score, but today was good. At my summer camp I believe that this is the last week. I heard from my friends at summer camp that next week is open house for schools. Later in the afternoon right after Taekwondo I went straight to the gym with my mother and heard that I have to be 16 or older to go in the gym by myself, at the gym I did my pull ups and ran a mile that is all.

This mourning I went to the Saturday black belt class and it was pretty fun at the Lake Norman place. During the class we kept rotating so that Master Evans so that he could see us. All the way through class we were mostly doing poomsaes and I saw Libby, Owen, and Towns there at the class. During class me and the other bocho dans were all put in another room to work on the Koryo poomsae.

Today I did not go to the gym or anything like that. In the afternoon my mom dropped me off at a soccer track. Whenever she left I did 4 laps around the field, and the field was  a 1/4 mile. I can say that run outside, it`s much more harder with the heat and not like a treadmill. After running I was exhausted from the running, I went to my dads house after that.
