Today is the start of our black belt cycle. I ran a mile for the first time in a long time today. I ran the mile at nine minutes on the dot. That surprised me for sure. Yesterday Master Foster and Trent came back from their mission from Handorous. They were gone for a week but it felt like forever. They look different to me when I saw Trent look a year older. And Master Foster looked five years younger. While they were gone I taught the Tuesday sparring class. It went really well. Even though they were gone it was a pretty good week.
