So Jack has got through the first stage, the one he was most concerned about, the exam.
He got 69 and the pass mark was 65. Bit tight but a pass is a pass!
I watched him do his paired combinations in front of all the class this evening and was proud of him. Sensei Rob also appeared to be happy with what he and Harry have worked on with their own choreography.
So now it's the grading on Saturday. He has an interview and then the katas he needs to do and then finally the fight. He's nervous of course but I think, and hope, he will be fine.
Will be very proud of him if he makes it, obviously we will be proud of him if he falls short as he's done so well to be grading at this age and we know that OSMA don't just hand out these belts for the fun of it. He'd have properly earned this belt.
He's looking forward to fighting Lewis...should be interesting because Jack is possibly at the fittest and strongest he's ever been, Lewis is not!!
I also found time to make it to the gym at the Nuffield today (I still think of it as Esporta) as I have a two week free membership. I was there for an hour on the rowing, bike and running machines...it was fine. I'm not a good gym person though it has to be said!! I find it dull and boring, will take my swim kit next time but also need to find more time for the running with the Half Marathon so close on the horizon!
Tash had been out in the evening with Lucie and Chrissie catching up so I was the taxi driver. It was ok.
Finally seem to be shaking my cold off, still feeling really rough though, hate feeling sick. And of course Man Flu is so much worse for us than a normal cold!!
