MM,<\/p>\n
I went to the do jang a little later yesterday. I went after the class was over, so I could use the do jang space to practice my patterns and one-step sparring. I practiced some kicks and then went home. I decided no more running until the test or I might be too tired. Need to let the legs rest a bit.<\/p>\n
I studied some terminology last night. Tonight, I think I will just go over things briefly and study some more history and terminology.<\/p>\n
Last night, I also burned a CD with some trance\/dance music for the run. We are running on a track – very boring! – so I decided to bring some music to listen to so I don’t get too bored. Usually when I run, it’s on the street so I have things to look at and it makes the running easier. On the track, we’ll see the same thing for 25 laps. (The track is 400 m – 400×25=10km.) Anyway, I’m hoping I can run most of the 10k. The longest distance I’ve run so far is 5.7 km.<\/p>\n
After the run, we have our black belt test where we’ll do our patterns, one-steps, some kicks, breaking techniques, and full-contact sparring – and did I mention we have to 1000 skips after the run? Eek! Long day ahead tomorrow. I can’t eat much with all the activity, so I bought tons of juice mixes and some protein stuff to drink (soy milk). Tonight (around 6-ish), I’m going to have a bowl of pasta – that should give me the carbs for tomorrow. I have to be in bed by 10 p.m. the latest, and I’m such a night owl.<\/p>\n
I’m washing my do boks, so they’re all fresh and clean for tomorrow and Sunday’s demo. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
Okay, got to go get some more stuff done.<\/p>\n
I’ll be back next week with full recap of the 10k run, test, and the demo. I can’t wait until it’s all over.<\/p>\n
Official countdown: 14 hours left and counting…<\/p>\n
