Karate blue belt!

I tested for my karate blue belt on 30th August, and I passed!

I study at Tracy's Karate, the Kirkwood location.  After my test, Karen took me into the sparring class and introduced me as a new blue belt, Ben hugged me, Dan shook my hand, random people I don't know congratulated me, and my fierce photo is on the wall in the blue belt section.

This is a long way from the day I walked into the studio in November 2008 and asked "Can an overweight, unfit, 33 year old do karate?"  The answer was apparently "Hell yes!  I can do karate."
