Day Two--Another Step Forward

Today was a medium day.  It wasn't really great and it wasn't really bad.  My muscles are very sore from all the physical requirements that I have to do.  I am tired because its late at night I waited too late to write this journal entry.  I think the training is hard it you just start into it.   The running has been my biggest challenge so far because I haven't done a lot of distance running and now I'm trying to run three miles a day.  The basic kicks have been the easiest for me to do every day because I've been doing kicks every day since I was a white belt.  That was two years ago.  

I haven't been very hungry since starting the training.  I have started drinking a protein shake for breakfast instead of eating a meal.  I think that helps me because it has protein and a lot of vitamins and minerals.  

I think it is going to be hard to stay motivated every day for the next three months.  I am trying to think of a way to stay motivated.  I'll have to think on that one, but not right now.  i'm too tired and sore.
