Day 4 of training Pauline

Today our training wasn't that hard but it's still intense.
We started off waking up eating breakfast. Then after that we get some rest.
Then we wake up for noon training with Mr. Vargas. It lasted for about an hour to an hour and thirty minutes. We reviewed basic kicks and after we did ten combination kicks for ten sets. It was somehow tiring, but we finished all the way through! Training these last two days will be relaxed and a feel good training since the competition is on Saturday. After training we went to eat at Dencio's. Food there is amazing! We ate filipino food and of course Ryan loved it!
After eating we head back to the hotel. My family came and visited me for awhile. They said they were proud of me for all of my accomplishments and what I'm going to accomplish in the future.
After talking with my family, I say goodbye to them and head into the room and take a quick cat nap. I was resting for our late afternoon training.
Then we go to the Central Gym and train with the sparring team.
First we studied sparred and after we did some going back and forth exercises. After those exercises we did paddle drills. The paddle drills were not that hard but it was a bit tiring and I learned different approaches with some kicks.
After we did paddle drills, we used the shields. We had to kick with full speed and power with some of the most basic kicks. After doing shield drills training was done.
Today's training was a good one and at the end I was sweating like crazy, like literally I was dripping of sweat and it was super hot!
After training with them we had dinner with Sir Ronny who is Mr. Vargas's Student before. He is an immigration officer and he was the one who helped us get through immigration fast!
Again, we ate different kinds filipino food which was awesome!
By the end of the day we felt good because we know we trained hard!
