On Track

I am optimistic that I WILL be able to meet my goal this year. There's a test in April for my 2nd green belt.....then...brown, here I come! Hopefully...before my birthday in November. I don't want to look too far into the future, though. Just want to do my best each day.

I started "running"...just the treadmill a couple of times. It was a BIT depressing because I couldn't keep up the pace, but I'm sure I have a lot more stamina now than 6 months ago. I need to set up a schedule so I don't slack off.

Karate class is going well. I feel that I have so many combinations and kempos to remember that I can't keep them straight when practicing. The guys keep on saying it'll get easier to remember. I'm a bit impatient. Practice makes perfect, though.

ML says he's working on setting up a tournament in May. I'm looking forward to that. The one I went to last year was great.
