Practice, Practice, Practice...

Today was supposed to be my long run day. The wind was crazy this morning, so I decided I would attempt to do my run on the treadmill. I ended up doing 5 miles. Half of what I planned, but I'm okay with it. There's another TKD tournament in a week, so it will be nice to have non-sore legs this week.

I did quite a bit of practice this past week. My pattern and break. I'm struggling with the break, but I've got another week to make it better. My pattern is coming along nicely. It could be better but not bad. My main goal for this tournament is to keep myself calm. I get super nervous, and then I don't do as well as I could. I've been meditating and visualizing a successful break and pattern. Even when I visualize it, my heart races. I get really nervous. I'm working on bringing myself down and focusing. Not sure what will happen at the tournament, but I've got another week to work on it.

I've also been lifting and running this week. I am on Week 3 of my lifting program. I'm feeling stronger and more positive overall. I also threw in a day of Pilates to work on my core. My eating has been mostly clean, and I'm feeling pretty good.

Going into this week focused and with a plan. Nervous about the tournament, but I'll do what I can this week. Practice. practice, practice...
