touching my toes

I've been taking taekwondo classes at school, and its more or less like Billy Blanks has taken over the body of a 40 something year old white man who happens to be the gym teacher. A lot of stretching, a lot of punching and kicking air, and by the end of the hour I am sore as can be. But well, heres been a goal of mine since from maybe when I was 6 years old when all the other kids could do it and i couldn't: I want to touch my toes. I now stretch everyday with this goal in mind. Also, it helps that stretching early in life will lead to less chronic muscle pain the future. Yeah, I really dont want to be one of those immobile old people. after I can touch my toes without it feeling that the circulation to my legs is cutting off, maybe I'll go for a split. maybe I'll be able to stretch like a ballerina one day. I would like that. As long as I don't give up in the middle, because I do that to myself alot.

I want to go back to Japan.
