I woke up very late today- 12:00 pm! then i started some of my requirments. then i played fortnite a litttle bit and also vr. then we went to taekwondo to finish my requirements and get a mentee session. but i had trouble breathing on the run. it was a good day.

Today we went to the library and did our requirements at the park. Then we left and ate lunch then went to the pool. We then went to taekwondo  to help out and finish our requirements. Then we took class and had a mentor session after and also a mentee. Then finished our run and ate sloppy joes for dinner. It was a good day.

So I am staying with my friend Declan, who is also on the cycle, for week 2, and today was good. we woke up and played on our vr a little bit , and then had lunch. Then, around 2 pm, we started and finished our requirements.  Unfortunately, it's raining, so we will have to do two miles tomorrow. But today was good. Edit- It stopped raining so we went to run, but we got there at 9 pm. Socks are wet because we accidentally went through a big puddle.

So today was the pretest, as you all know. As there is room for improvement, I think I did fairly well. I messed up a bit on poomsaes, but did pretty well on the run and other things. See you guys at THE test.

Hello. I am not sure if I am ready for tomorrow, as it is my first cycle. Today I went to sparring and Black belt class. we practiced all poomsaes and some self defenses. Just getting ready for tomorrow. I am feeling apprehensive about pull ups tomorrow, because I am terrible at them. I could probably do 2 or 3 in one minute. But as It is the pretest, I will be able to improve before the BIG test. See everyone bright and early tomorrow. UPDATE:I can do more than 2 or 3 pull ups in a minute. 8 is average amount.

Hello everyone it's me again. So I am eating dinner right now. It is very good. I finished my requirements except for kicks which I am about to do. Just finished my run at the gym because it was raining outside. Getting ready for the pre-test on saturday. Hope it goes well for me and everyone else on the cycle. Goodnight.

So far the cycle has been very tiring. I am VERY sore all over my body. It is my first time doing the cycle. My first run was surprisingly the easiest so far. But the running has still been going smoothly. Today I woke up and almost immediately started my requirements. Today I did more push ups and sit ups than the other days. But I did have to do double pull ups because I couldn't do them yesterday. Despite the pain, I am excited to do the cycle because whether I pass or fail, I will still be glad I did it.
