change of pace

Now, that I've finally leveled up in TKD, I am surprised to find that my motivation has diminished somewhat.  The pace is completely different than being a color belt, and it's more self-study.  I know I can do it, but there are other things I want to do.  I want to start running regularly--so I can be ready during the heat of the summer; more weight training at the gym; possibly even start teaching classes at the gym.  I still want to get a black belt in TKD, but the task seems so much more daunting now that I'm at the bottom of the next level.  When I decided to start taking classes again, it didn't feel like I was a newbie since I knew the curriculum.  It's a different ball game now.

It seems pretty silly, and I'm probably just whining.  The quicker I get thru the white & yellow belt stuff, the sooner I can take the first pre-test.

It's just difficult now b/c I haven't decided on a short-term goal to work towards.  Once I figure that out, I think I'll feel a bit more focused again.
