The test lasted 7 hours and most of that was kicking. At the end, we sparred and finally broke our boards. There are now 4 of these at my house. I have to come up with a new life goal to replace the one I knocked off my list today. ^_^ Oh, and I lost 4 pounds during the test.

Congratulations! I think I know how you feel... when I got my Culinary diploma, it was 10 years of hard work finally paying off.
If I were you, I would never take that black belt off. Although, it would probably bulge beneath the two aprons I have to wear at work.
Yippeee! I'm so happy for you!
Hooray!!!
Congratulations! What an amazing accomplishment! I can barely lift my leg at the height of my waist without taking out my back! You rock!
I'm so happy for you!!! That is so incredibly amazing, Candace! 7 hours?!? Yes, you totally deserve that thing.
Congrats again! You are the bomb, yo!
I honestly couldn't be prouder of you Candace. That's a tremendous accomplishment. Sure it's no Ironman, but damn does it ever require a lot of training. Color me very very impressed and a tiny bit scared. Kudos to you!
Congrats on your black belt! :)
Congratulations!!
You rock the known world and I am going to reword my dustcover write up on you to include the words black belt

7 hours??!! -that puts the 'gruel' in grueling. Wow that is so awesome that you made it! Congrats, Candace the Black Belt Writer.
time to update your avatar?
Jaichan - Thank you! :) Wow, 10 YEARS! Yes, I think you know how I feel. I originally started when I was 15ish and then had to quit due to expense, so this has been a long time coming. Whew!
Sparrow - Thanks! :) How's that knitting project coming?
Airam - Thank you. :) This has definitely made me a more flexible person. ^_^
Amanda - Thanks! :) Yeah 7 hours. I was talking to the Master about it today and neither one of is us sure how it got to be quite so long. He didn't ask a ton of Qs, we only did 4 forms, I think - most of it was kicking, and even so we didn't do all the combos we *could* have done, though we did a damn lot of them, LOL!
Egan - thank you. I was thinking, as it ended, about how much longer an Ironman is, and being incredibly grateful that I am not attempting to be an Ironwoman. ^_^
Haddock - Thank you! :)
Logo - Haha!! Thanks so much! ^_^ That makes my day. :)
Tori - thanks! Though I don't think I can hold a candle to you endurance-wise. :)
Egan - with, like, cups of wine poisoned with Iocaine? ^_^
TG - Thank you. ^_^
Amanda - Thanks!! I still can't quite believe it. :)
Egan - Mock me at your own peril. I have spent years building up a to;erance to Iocaine poison. . . ^_^
Jali - Thanks! ^_^ I do love the sound of that!
Claire -That made me laugh, which made my stomach muscles hurt. ^_^ Thank you. ^_^
TG - I was thinking the same thing. :)
I tried to post this earlier, but the connection in my hotel was horrid.
Anyway, congrats!
I fart in your general direction.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Delton - Thanks! :)
Egan - um, thank you, too? ^_^ Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
Tshsmom - Thank you! :)
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!! :)
