9/15

I had a pretty good day today as far as practicing goes.  I woke up early, took my flashcards out to the driveway, and ran through everything.  I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I'm still not there yet with hapkido 4/5, or 3rd Dan Self Defense.  I'm stronger on the staff forms and Stick 1-4.  I feel good about Anyo Isa and the Bolo form, but I still glitch out on them from time to time. 

My plan is to get up tomorrow and do 4 miles before work, then do some more requirements during my lunch break.
