News...

I have not been neglecting my blog on purpose, just been really busy with other things lately. One of which is the fundraising for the WAM 2008 bike tour. I have to say that I am happy with how it is going. I have had a lot of support from a lot of people. Thank you so much for all the donations towards my fundraising goals. I hope you are as excited as I am about being that much closer to granting a wish. These children certainly deserve it. The last I checked F2F and I have raised over $600!! Yeah!!!

Now for that training. Haven't been doing so much lately. And of course with all the comfort food and Thanksgiving holiday I may have sabotaged myself! lol This time of year is bad for my hips. :) Thank goodness for karate 2x per week. I know I get a good workout there! Plus I love it. I am excited to say that I have just tested and passed for my 3rd grade brown belt! WooHoo!! I can't believe I am actually a brown belt. I'm thrilled! It means I am that much closer to being a black belt. According to my instructor about another year, though it is hard for me to imagine! Now I'll be getting into more self defense (against knives and guns), some more weapons training, and then having to do some reading on martial arts history. I'm excited! Sparring is one thing in karate I don't do often but participated in last night. Now I remember why I haven't done it in a while. No shin guards! I desparately need some. My shins are looking a pretty shade of purple. Don't get me wrong, I love purple-just not when it hurts!

Stay tuned, I'll keep you posted on the fundraising, bike training, and how much better I am at kicking my own butt...:)
