Karate Thoughts

I needed a place where I could write my thoughts and feelings about karate.

Time Flies

I can't believe that it's February and I haven't posted since October. To catch up...I got my third degree brown belt. It was a difficult test, but I felt very good about it. Thinking back, I can't believe how far I've come from white belt to now. I wasn't able to do 20 jumping jacks. I can do 100 now, without a problem. "Running in place" is actually fun! (Not really, but it doesn't wear me out like it used to!). I enjoy being exhausted when class is done. I still look forward to learning more and teaching others.

Now the push is for black belt. Six to seven hours of testing. I'm in "serious" mode now. Gotta work out more. Gotta RUN. Jumping rope is one of my new favorites, too. I'm trying to do that every day now.
