The physical portion wasn't bad, I made the quotas for skipping, sit-ups, and push-ups. Then I had to run 24 laps of the track (10K) and I completed that in 74 minutes. I was a little disappointed to find that no one came out to run with us on Saturday, usually when there's black belt testing a few people will show up out of support. It was only Danielle and I on the track, but I have to thank Peter for coming out to help administer the test, and Murray as well... he was a sweetie and stuck it out to the end and encouraged me the whole time. Also a big thank you to Danielle and her parents who hung out until I was done my run. Danielle had only 8/9 laps to do I had 24, so they didn't need to stay the whole time, but they did and I really appreciate it!
So today I am one sore girl!
I've napped and I've stitched today! Here's the progress on the projects I've got on the go right now.
Tour Des Marques
Michael Powell - Mini Cottages 6
I'll be spending most of my evenings this week at the dojang practicing my patterns and step sparring for the technical testing on Sunday!
