THE LONG ROAD TO SHODAN ( BLACK BELT )

10.30 Saturday. After the hellish heat of summer in Nevada the temperature is finally bearable for running a mere 90 degrees.I return back to my run after nursing my sprained ankle back to health I now must start again my usual routine of running and Aikido " If you run you will be a superstar " the quote is imprinted in my memory Rob P the person responsible for starting me on this form of meditation.Today after finding the local school track full of young competitive future football champs I elected to go to the park which much to my dismay was full of young and competitive soft ball players ,no soft surface for my return and so the hard road back was my only option. My legs were heavy my breath and mind sluggish I felt awkward and clumsy ,this is my usual first run back labor pains. In the shadow of the recent death of my friend and the application of the 10% rule I have resolved to enjoy and embrace my life and all n it having 10% spending money has been wonderful,I have taken Lisa out to eat with out guilt and feel secure in the fact that I have saved an equal amount I must now buy food for the less fortunate and donate to the local church. My Shodan test is March next year and I must catch up on my practice I will run this years Marathon and must do some serious miles in preparation
I am preparing in essence for my biggest event ,My first Million I want to look and feel the best I have ever been when I receive the gift financial freedom the accomplishment of Shodan will be significant in my life and it is still a long Long to the beginning BLACK BELT.
