Enjoying the Weekend!

Hi everyone! My name is Peyton, I'm currently a 3rd degree black belt testing for my 4th in the fall. As a 3rd dan, we have to do 2 black belt cycles, I did my first one in January and this is my 2nd. Therefore I didn't do the pretest today but I did come around 8a.m. to LKN KT for class! It was so nice to see fellow candidates and see many new faces! I completely forgot to journal yesterday so I've got to get back into that habit! Yesterday was pretty good, woke up early for a nice hot, muggy run and then finished up other requirements. Today was about the same, early run and poomsae class. I will definitely be sore tomorrow, we did a lot of resistance bands and ankle weights! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend and has a great start to the week tomorrow! ~ Peyton
