This morning I woke up at 5:30 a.m and did my excersies (push ups, sit ups, jump rope, and burpees), poomsaes, self defense, and then I did my running. I am sore all over, but it's all bareable, I started wearing my rubber bands, and now my teeth hurt really bad. Hopefully by tomorrow everything is set and good. As soon as I stepped outside to run I got goosebumps, but like Elsa said, "The cold never bothered me anyway!". After that I have science olympiad and then I go to point/ballet for an hour and a half.
