I am pleased at the accomplishment, but also grateful that this is the last time I'll have to run for a while. I love karate, and I've even come to enjoy fighting class. But I really hate running. *laughs* You're not actually doing anything. One of the reasons why -- when I turned 35 and the warranty ran out on my body and medical professionals told me I really really really really needed to start exercising -- I chose martial arts over other types of exercise is that other types of exercise bore the crap out of me. I wanted to do a type of exercising that actually engaged me.
Running, I'm sorry to say, does not engage me. But it has done wonders for my stamina, which will be handy come Sunday. The black belt promotion goes over three days -- Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday -- and the third day is entirely fighting. The running will help with the stamina there.....
Now I'm going to sleep for a bit before today's class. Wheeee!
