Practice Makes .... Improvement

Last night was excellent. I've been practicing TKD a lot lately. There's another tournament this weekend, and I am feeling nervous. Plus, we have testing soon, and I really want to get my green belt. Last night things started clicking. I had a good class. I know not every class will go so well, but it was nice to feel like I'm making progress.

My legs were sore this morning, but I went for a short run. It was okay. Not great. Heavy, tired legs, dead iPod, and a negative mindset. Still, I got in 2.5 miles. Better than nothing.

I've still got my leg workout. It's my favorite day of this lifting plan - squats and good mornings. Makes me feel strong.

The rest of this week I'm going to focus on TKD and yoga. I'm trying to be as prepared as possible, including keeping my head from getting in the way. I tend to over-think things, and that doesn't work in tournaments. Goals for this tournament: stay calm and focused, break the board, remember the plan for sparring. Mostly stay calm. That will make everything better.

My eating has been good for the last few days. I've gotten back into having salads every day, and I am addicted to avocados. I've also been focusing on getting enough H2O. It makes a huge difference. I feel so much better.
