Another Crazy Week

It's been another crazy week, but it started out in the best way. After my 12 miles on Sunday, I expected to be sore, but it wasn't bad. Yoga fixed most of it. Monday night I had TKD. It was a great class. Lots of plyometric training. At the end of class the yellow belts were promoted. The three of us started together, and we've worked really hard over the last year. My break didn't go well. It took four tries again, but it did finally break. It was frustrating, but I'm determined to get it first try at the next tournament.

It was such a great feeling to get promoted. I feel like I've turned a corner with TKD. I've started to set goals and focus on making progress. I'm one belt away from getting to do weapons training. The Bean is starting up weapons, and she is so excited. I have to say I'm jealous. She's starting with a Bo Staff, and it looks like so much fun. For now, I'll have to be content with starting a new pattern. I am excited about it. The patterns get more involved and cooler the further we progress. I love that there is always something new to learn.

Monday was a definite "life is good" kind of day. The rest of this week has been a bit more of a struggle. Tuesday I walked with a client - at a really brisk pace - and I worked out with a couple other clients. I got in a good body weight workout. Wednesday and Thursday I only got in a walk with the Moon Dog. We've been walking consistently all week.

This weekend I have an awesome date with Andy. I know we'll be going out to eat a couple times this weekend, so I need to set myself up for success. I'm running with my friend, Tracy, this morning. I haven't seen her all week. I'm psyched for a good run and chat. Tomorrow morning I am running again. I won't be back for our Sunday Runday, so Michelle and I rescheduled for Saturday. I also know that Andy and I will be doing a lot of walking tomorrow. It's going to be a good weekend.

I'm looking forward to the holiday break. I still have a couple jobs to do, but I get a break from my school-related ones. It will be nice to have more free time and time to spend with my family.
