So today I couldn't really do anything, also my allergies were acting up so I didn't feel good at all not allowing me to do my requirements for the day. From 3 to 9 my family and I went to a temple but I pretty much rested the whole time, took lots of medicine and I'm feeling better. Hopefully I'll be fully recovered tomorrow. Good Night!

Once I got there I donated some lays for Saturday and then did the sparring class, where we did pretty fun drills. After class I got my book signed and headed back home. Once I got home for 30 minutes I did my poomsae's, self defense and kicks for the day. After that I ate dinner and the time was around 9:00.

Around 1:00 I started to do a bit of schoolwork I had, so I did that. I rested a bit more and then I did some requirements for around half and hour since I had to catch up. I ate dinner later and then finished up the rest of the homework I had and went to sleep.

Today I woke up around my usual time and got to work doing even more pushups before going to school. Today at school we had a pretty big science test so on the bus ride I prepared for that. After school I ate a light snack before going to King Tiger. I helped out today for some credit and did the sparring class.

After school I went home ate some chips and a bit of my birthday cake, after that I relaxed for an hour before preparing for my science test tomorrow. I prepared for an hour and then took a break. Since I was pretty behind for like 2 days because of my injuries, I decided that if I couldn't do any leg excersizes I might as well do some push-ups. I did 4 minutes of push ups 4 times so 16 minutes. My arms were pretty tired so I rested for like 25 minutes and ate dinner. After...

Today I woke up early in the morning at around 7. Although I couldn't really do any exersizes other than pushups because I hurt my ankle while doing jump ropes yesterday. After I went to school and in PE while we were playing ultimate football I dived to make a catch but since the grass was still wet I slipped while doing so and fell on my knee which hurt really bad so I could barely walk pretty much the whole day. I also had 2 tests, On 1 I got an 100 and we didn't get the score for the other one yet. After I got home I relaxed because my knee was still pretty badly injured and that's what I did the whole time. My mom applied some treatment which hopefully makes it better tomorrow. Anyways good night!

After that we headed to the party and I met with all my friends which was really fun, we played soccer too, and had a good time.

My dad also said that the reason I cant beat my first mile even though I'm improving is because I have to run on a straight hill so it takes a few seconds to turn around. I was glad because When I first started running on the hill I got a time of 11 something and now I am 9:18. Anyways I developed a new strategy for me. At first I went just pretty much slow the whole time and still had a decent amount of energy after my run. This time though in the first 0.10 miles I ran a pace of 8:18 and I stuck as much as I could to that pace I...

I felt really bad for it since it died but I also got to see my first ever rabbit heart and organs. They were pretty disgusting thought and the smell the one of the worst smells I've ever smelled. Also since this stink was right by my house and right on the path I run it made me feel weird so it was a bit harder to run my mile taking me some more time.
