I haven't been writing my journals since the pretest, this is my first one so I'm going to talk about the past couple of days. Last Saturday, we did the pretest and I had to run 3 miles, it was pretty hard in the end because I haven't been running as much as I would have liked to before cycle, so I'm out of shape. Then after we had finished the exercises, we moved onto black belt class with Grand Master Evins teaching everyone. Then at the end of class Grand Master Evins went around asking who your mentor and mentee were, at the time I didn't have a mentee so I felt pretty bad about that, so right as class ended, I went and asked a kid to be my mentee, and now I have already had two mentee sessions with him. If you are reading this, I hope you have a wonderful day, and good luck with Black Belt Cycle.

2nd post on the cycle.
