Fun Run

OK. Finally. I have BEGUN to RUN. It's been cold out, lately, so I thought I'd try our treadmill out. I actually LIKE it! It must be because my conditioning has gotten better over time and I don't lose my breath like I used to. I actually surprised myself by being able to run a mile on the treadmill, without stopping, in 20 minutes. I know that may sound funny to others, and it's probably pretty easy for many others to do, but, I don't care. It's a very big step for me, and now that I know I can do it, I'm putting myself on a strict running schedule. After all, my BIG test is coming "soon" and if I don't prepare better for it, I'll never make it.

Yes, my black belt test is coming up. The master instructor casually mentioned that I and a few others are officially "in review" and can be called at any time. The last weekend in April is the target date. I hope it's not earlier. I need to RUN!@!
