Another full day

Got up this morning and picked up where I left off yesterday with work.  Things were pretty busy and I didn't get my physical requirements finished until almost 5pm. I misplaced my book in the kitchen so I didn't get a chance to get to the dojang to help with class; instead I got there in time to get ready for the adult color belt class.  We spent a lot of time on Hwarang, Yi Jang, Sa Jang, Yuk Jang, and Pal Jang.  It was a good refresher and a reminder that I should practice all the color belt forms regularly.  As we get deeper into the Cycle, I know I'll probably wind up covering every poomsae I know at least once a day but even now, it wouldn't hurt to revisit all these forms more regularly than I have been.

After class we had PMAA and worked on Knife C.  We covered a lot but still have so much to go.  I'm glad we aren't testing any time soon, especially with the Black Belt Cycle moving into full swing.

Gabe had kept Samuel home so she missed class but had dinner pretty much done by time I got home and it was delicious.  But now it's time to journal and get ready for bed.

C'mon, knee, don't fail me now
