Sunday, Sunday...

I am very happy to have the pretest successfully behind me. Now I need to start concentrating on other things, as well as continuing to work on color belt poomsaes and self defense. I had a very productive day today. Thank you Inst. Randle for letting me work out with you. It sure makes for a lot more fun and helps keep me motivated. It's also easier to work through a question than practice it wrong repeatedly. Thanks for getting me the miracle pull-up bungee cord too. That is a huge help. In past cycles I have had to work at the sparring rounds and jump rope because I let them get away from me. This is the first time I've had to do pull-ups. I am determined to not let that happen with them or any requirement. I am working on closing all the gaps. Can't wait until the weather is consistently nicer to get outside and get some miles in during the week. Getting out at lunch time would also help with that, but it has been busy. I have been enjoying the PMAA classes and find that I look forward to class even though it makes for a later night getting requirements done. Nobody said it would be easy, but we each need to dig down and get it done!
