TGIF

Although this was a short week for me, it felt like a normal full week. I am thankful that it is Friday. Nate and I both have to keep up the momentum on the training, but I am looking forward to a little bit of down time. My wife and I are going out with some great friends Saturday night, so that should be fun. Not sure where yet, just it usually involves some adult beverages. I was in black belt class today when I realized how far I have come in Tae Kwon Do, and how much I have learned. We spent a portion of the class reviewing solid belts, and I did pretty well. It is amazing that I have worked through each of those belts over the years and had to learn more and more each time... much of it has retained in my both my mind and body. I looked around the group of black belts and also realized I have seen many of these young folks grow up (including Nate). Hard work has paid off, and it is so awesome to be part of the King Tiger family. I am looking forward to rest of this journey.

A good end to the week
Crazy Friday
