Candidate Journals

Hi! I need to remember to start journaling everyday because i forgot yesterday. Anyways today was chill in the beginning because it’s run day so I have to wait till evening when it cools down to go for my run. So until then I was just chilling but around 5:30 I went for a 2 mile run/walk and it was still pretty hot. Right after I took a small break and had to get ready for bbc. It starts at 7:05 and I came at 7:04 but I was still late so I was all the way in the back which felt weird because the other first dance where like 3 rows ahead of me😭. I usually try to come earlier but i also had to go to a bday party right after my class so I had to prepare some stuff for it since I was going to be late due to bbc. I also forgot my staff and sticks so not a great starts for the first week but i still got many more for a redemption arc. Anyways now my legs really hurt and Im going to take a fat shower, goodnight!

This is my first journal and I am currently a first dan testing for my second. I honestly have been really dreading the cycle just because last time all the physical requirements were really tough on me. But I kinda think it was because I was so hard on myself with everything, I made my entire life literally only taekwondo and it was lowkey draining. So now I've figured out a way to split up my requirements to make it easier on myself and maintain balance throughout the cycle. Today is run day so I'm just waiting for the weather to cool down a little like in the evening time or something and then I'll do my run. Summer has been kinda boring for me so far so the black belt cycle does give me something to focus on. I also had the World Cup which I watched pretty regularly but...
