Day 4

We are day 4 into the pre-cycle and I am definitely feeling it. It is a good feeling, and not as bad as last time starting. But I am a bit out of shape. Working hard up front to get back into shape for this cycle. We have plenty new to learn and want to get back to where I was. Took some down time between the cycles and I feel it. The snow days have helped us a bit, so I will take them. I am really excited about this cycle. We have a great testing group this time again... and I am excited to see how this cycle goes. I do think it helps going through this once already. You at least know how things go a bit, understanding that every cycle is unique in its own way... but the regiment and knowledge from before will help us. I cannot say enough how much TKD has changed me in so many ways and has really brought my son and I so close. Looking forward to the next set of months. Good luck to everyone and we need to keep encouraging each other... it's people that make things happen, and usually the more the people the bigger the thing that happens. Good night.
