Saturday

I think today was one of the best and most challenging days of this cycle. It started with my 1.5 mile run and I did it in 22:47.82 which just made my morning. I thought yesterday was a fluke but when I broke 23 minutes again today, I knew it wasn't a fluke and I wasn't dreaming. I went to Saturday Black Belt class and stayed for sparring. I always enjoy working with Master Randle and Pam Russ. After class I stopped and got some lunch and when I got home Hans and I went for a 2 mile walk (some jogging) in the awesome weather. After we got home I practiced both staff forms, single stick, bolo, attack & defend, staff attack & defend and some other poomsaes on my patio in the back yard. That was so peaceful and relaxing to be outside practicing. I would take breaks and work in some of the physical requirements like push-ups, sit-ups etc.
I am a little worried or anxious about tomorrow. I am going to be doing my empathy training with my left arm bound. I had planned on doing for a while. I have church in the morning and then tomorrow afternoon we have my Uncle's memorial service and family visitation. I want to be there for my dad and I realize that it will limit my ability to get in some requirements. I will just do my best and make up the rest. I must be there for my dad. I can not imagine sitting at the kitchen table and your best friend, your brother falls over dead on the table. I know how difficult it was to be there and watch my mom take her last breath and I was expecting it.
I am going to finish logging in the rest of today's requirements and go to bed. Good night.
