So I'm almost through the second week of the program and I have to say that it's been waaaay better. My body is still stiff and sore but it's been greatly reduced. We do a ton of stretching which you would think would make it hurt less but when you do splits 8 times a day or so it only makes you more sore, at least at first. It is pretty exciting to see improvements so soon. The running is a lot easier already (I can keep up with the group now) and I think because of that my calves are getting stronger and consequently my jumps are getting higher. I still suck at jumping but there is hope for the future. It's crazy how high some people here can jump, especially the teenage chinese kids! I swear they could jump right over my head. I'm also practicing handstands and I can do a one handed one on the right hand. I'll take a picture soon and post it here. Once I can hold it for long enough for someone to get a good shot. haha.

Overall things are going a-ok. Mel and I are settling into being roommates and into the routine of daily training.

That's all for now, I'm going to get a friend to massage my hip for me.
