Rested Zombie

After working last night, I made my way over to black belt class with the help of a monster drink. It was an intense class led by Master Opey involving extended running around the mat, stretching, punching/kicking combinations forward and backwards, poomsaes and self-defense...sweating galore! Then, those of us taking our PMA test next Tuesday, met with Master Cavazos for more practice. I brought a notebook and jotted some things down. I think I may make this a habit because I am in brain overload especially with everything I need to know during the black belt cycle and I think this will be helpful overall going forward. Phew!!! Lastly, Stick 1 & 2 and Keumgang poomsae with Instructor Gabe. Shower and sleep once I got home.
