Reflections on a Life in Training
TRAINING DIARY - JANUARY 2022

1/19/2022 - Super pleased with this. I tried this move once about three years ago and found it beyond impossible. Started working on it two weeks ago and now this.

1/11/2022 - Well, this was a proud moment. Three angel roll-ups from the air using an entry that I figured out for myself. First started learning this move on 5/1/2020 so it's been a fairly long haul. So glad that I stuck with it.
