End of week

Boy Scout BBQ today so my morning was spent taking care of BBQ orders. I was able to spend the remainder of the day trying to concentrate on requirements.
I guess it was warmer outside today ... Warmer than it has been but I still thought it was quite chilly during my walk/run.   I feel like Rocky when I'm working on my miles.. Toboggan on and hoodie up..And you know I have to play at least once "The Eye of the Tiger".   I've not done the dance at the top of the steps (yet), I will save that for the end of my mile during the physical test in March.  In hopes I am able to better my time from my pretest.
I went to Black Belt class tonight.  I found out that I have been practicing a poomsae wrong.. My stances are not right.  I'm frustrated mostly because as slow as I am to learn some things... Trying to "re-learn" and break the wrong habits can sometimes be more difficult.  I'm thankful that it was spotted early enough that I can make the change.  I do love that in TKD there is ALWAYS more to learn, and anything we do can ALWAYS be done better.    I do want to be better... And I'm just thrilled that I am able to do what I do...So I will just keep working at it. 
I'm meeting with my Mentor tomorrow morning, first on the agenda is to work on poomsae corrections.
