Jolted A Bit

I was standing in the lobby, chatting with other parents. He came up to me and mentioned that there might be a black belt test in September. I looked startled, then asked if it was even possible for me to make that test. He said YES. I don't think it's possible, though. I still have one more brown belt to go. If I work extra hard, Maybe I'll test for third degree in June? Then 3 months to black? I doubt it, though. That would be an incredible feat. I was flattered that he thought I could do it! The guys always make me feel good about myself. I feel like trying extra hard, just because he thinks I can make it!

I think that this short conversation has boosted my desire to train harder. I really want to start running. Yes, really. I know, I said that before. But, I mean it this time. I HAVE to start running if I'm going to be prepared. I've lost 12 pounds in the past month. My determination is getting stronger. I CAN DO IT! I still have the running sneakers! I start tomorrow. (I would start today, but it's 10:15pm and it's raining.)
