I was tired though.  I got about four hours sleep.  Since it was Thursday, we did a load of speed kicking for taekwondo.  My legs felt so heavy for some reason.  Probably just recovering from all the exercise this week.  Ah&#8230; I remember now, it used to be like that when I was at the height of my crazy taekwondo training.  I used to train Monday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  By Thursday, my legs always felt heavy, and then sometimes I would take sparring class on Friday.  Strange though, because I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m as slow as I feel on those days.  Anyway, I did gumdo class first, then taekwondo, and about 40 minutes into the taekwondo crazy kicking class, I was starting to feel light-headed.  Not good.  So okay, while the Master is explaining our next drill, I just kneel down to the ground for a bit to let the blood flow back to my head.  I still wonder how I managed to get through that class with only four hours of sleep &#8211; and after gumdo class too!<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow&#8230; er, tonight I guess, since it&#8217;s around 5 a.m. now, is my gumdo test for green belt.  Yay!  I get to learn new stuff after I test &#8211; that is always good motivation to test.  Though, I think people should only test when they feel ready and when they know their stuff well enough.  Well, it&#8217;s been six months since my last gumdo test, and I have been practicing off and on, so I think it&#8217;s about time.  I just really hope I can snuff out two candles with my sword.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I should get some sleep now.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, 11 weeks 1 day until I have to run 10k and test for my second dan.
