New beginning

This is my first journal entry for the black belt cycle. I am feeling a little sore from pre-test yesterday can barely walk without burning my calves. Had a few ones on my poomsaes from grading so i am going to have to work on that this coming week while I'm on vacation. I had a great start with mister Tim on mentor sessions before this cycle and I think they are going to go great during cycle and I'm going to learn a lot.
