Doomsday

It's here. Testing day. Tonight, I take the level 1 Krav test. We have to run two miles, and that is followed by an approximately 2 hour test. We will only get two breaks: one 5-minute break, and one 1-minute break. Seriously. That's what we were told last night. I'm just praying to God that I make it through the test and that I don't let my partner down.

Last night

We had a practice "test" last night, which lasted about an hour-and-a-half. After that, we had to select our partners last night. I feel sorry for the guy who has to test with me. We were the leftovers. We got one short break during our practice and were told "no water". My arches were killing me, even just holding the pad during the first part of class. I don't know how well they'll hold up after the run tonight.

Getting nervous

I'm getting all wound up about the test. Unfortunately, that nervousness has traveled down my GI tract, and is expressing itself through my bowels. Diarrhea. I'm going to sneak out of work early to stop by the house and take some Immodium. Hopefully that will have enough time to kick in before testing time.

The test will be grueling, I'm sure, and I just hope that I don't let my partner down. I can always retake the test later if I fail, but I don't want to drag someone else down with me. Trying to stay positive. I keep telling myself "I can do this". But the negative is always nagging at me.

I will post my test results tomorrow, after a long sleep.
