I.  Am.  Exhausted.  I trained harder today than I have in a long time.  I helped in Junior Tigers class, worked on requirements before black belt class, survived a very strenuous black belt class and then trained with Grandmaster Lee for 2 hours.  I made myself breathe and I pushed through, even when I thought I was going to pass out!!  I just kept thinking, "This is my black belt cycle.  It's supposed to be hard and I'm going to do it!"  I didn't log my requirements yesterday so I will add them to today's log.  I have to count up everything I did today, but I think it's going to be a pretty high number!!  Now I am in bed at 8:15 pm after taking more Advil and I could not be happier about it!
