I'm officially done with falls and rolls, running, and sit-ups. I'll also be done with jump-rope tomorrow and everything else should be finished up by Tuesday or Wednesday! The end is soo close and I'm so excited! I'm testing for my 4th so I will still have to do another black belt cycle in the summer this year but it will feel so good to have this one over with. This is the first time I have done a spring/winter cycle before and I definitely like the temperatures better because the alternative is 80-90 degrees, humid weather in July BUT....I definitely like not having school for part of the summer/fall cycle so I'm not sure which one I like better. Anyways, I hope everyone had a great weekend! Keep working hard, the end is near! Don't slack off now! ~ Peyton
