The Next Belt

Yes!!! I passed! I'm geeked about it. I am now a 4th grade green belt in AKS. I think that is so cool. I have to say that the test was not as nerve racking as I thought it would be. Usually the instructor runs you through everything that you have learned from the begining of class to date. Those of us that were testing started at our belt requirements and worked backwards to the begining. We didn't get through everything. But what we did cover we covered thoroughly. My legs and feet are feeling it today. It was also very humid out. I think my deodorant gave out about 15 minutes into class. Sweat was rolling off everyone! It was great though. Now it's on to training for my 3rd grade brown belt. Can't believe I'm this far already but I am happy about it.

As for the cycling, that has taken a backseat at the moment. With the past month being so busy I haven't had much of a chance to ride. I'm looking forward to school starting because I keep a much better routine then. And with the oldest child in school I am hoping to get out more on the bike. I need to put the bike trailer I bought to good use! Also, maybe by then the weather won't be so humid. Ugh. Talk about a motivation killer. I'm doing some exercises inside but not wanting to go for that bike ride, hike or otherwise with weather like this. Hats off to those of you who do. Feel free to pass on some of that motivation to me!
