Black Belt Mama was surprised to get her 3rd degree brown, but I'm sure she was more than ready for it. They don't just give them out to
anyone. I tend to question my abilities, too, and I'm never sure whether or not I'm ready to move on. But I definitely believe in my instructors and their opinions. And, they keep encouraging me and telling me that I'm ready for my black belt. They have been by my side every step of the way, and now that the countdown is here....JUNE 2, 1:30pm...they have continued to push me, encourage me, and tell me that I CAN DO IT. I don't think I would have come this far if it weren't for them. Now, if only I could convince myself...
I'm training harder and harder. I've been running at home, sometimes on the treadmill, and sometimes outside. It's definitely nicer outside. I'm getting better at it. I'm not a great runner, by any means, but I make an effort. My son, who's 10, even came running with me the other day. I really enjoyed that and hope he's willing to do it again with me!
Nervous, but excited! Feeling like I'm prepared, but can't remember everything! Counting down the days.
