The year of the rabbit has ended, and we are now in the year of the dragon. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the I Ho Chuan last year and I found the banquet to be a wonderful conclusion to the year. I am very excited for the upcoming year, and I have been working towards my physical requirements. So far, I believe that I am doing far better than I did at this time last year. My goal this year is to outdo my effort from last year and to work towards reaching the goals that have been laid out for the I Ho Chuan program. To that end, I have attached my numbers for this week below:
