Why?

Why do continue to mess up on poomsaes? Even Il and Yi. Even after I have done them so many times. I believe it is just a matter of concentration mixed with a little self doubt and second guessing. I have got to get over this. Feeling good for tomorrows testing except for pull-ups. My shoulder is not cooperating with that movement but I will power through. Just a lot of pain and weakness with it. When the cycle is over I'll go get it and my knee checked out. Figured I'd wait so that the Dr won't have a chance to give me unwanted news. Nothing will stop me!

Friday
A fast day
