Today was a good day for running outside. My dog attracts a lot of attention, so I had to stop several times for people to pet her. I'm not complaining though because I like the breaks, especially after running uphill. I try to run around 3pm when it's warmer outside and I guess everyone else has the same idea of being outside too. Class was good this evening. I led the warm-up and was mentored. When I got home, I ate and got ready to work on my self-defense, but my husband wanted me to watch a documentary called, "Toilet: A New Era." It's interesting, but I had to work on my requirements.

A Pre-Test is a test to evaluate the preparedness of students for further study. As I was "re-mastering" the first seven Poomsae's, I wondered what kept getting in the way of my daily practice? What was I doing all of this time? Why didn't I wait until the next cycle to get it all together? I convinced myself that this was the perfect time because this is a pretest, and I won't remember what I don't remember. I knew what to expect, but I didn't know what to expect. If I don't do it now, I'll never be ready. I'd probably still have something else to get me off schedule. Since I was given grace, in the form of a pre-test or a dress rehearsal, I now have several opportunities to prepare myself for the big day when it comes. This time I will do what I was supposed to do; Stay Ready So I Don't Have to Get Ready.
