Monday's mess

Ran 1/2 mile, walked 1/4 mile with my dog Jelly Bean, for a warm up.

3 rounds (21,15,9) for time:
35#db deadlifts
GHD sit ups

After this I returned to military sickcall to discover that the dislocated toe of two weeks ago was actually the avulsion fracture of the second toe of two weeks ago. I love Naval Medicine. It sometimes leads me to beleive its being conducted by naval oranges, or navels. Not sure which, but not by medical professionals as modern America knows the term.

I need to train around this hand injury before I'm training, round, and have a hand injury.

20061121

Not really hitting it hard these days

What does a body do when little injuries start building up? Thumbs, pinky toes, etc. Taking days off turns into weeks off.

What does a body do?

20061108

Worn out?!?!?!

Yesterday I went to BJJ w/Pedro Sauer immediately after a Krav Maga class. 2&1/2 hours later My ass was kicked. Not sure the last time I did that, but this time was after returning from a 2 week hiatus from martial arts.

My endurance was shot, rolling in the last half hour of this was a trial.

This was the first time I went to KM in over a month. The school has started offering Muay Thai and a Bas Rutten Systems MMA class. I'll be trying them both over the next month. Then its time to decide.

KM? MMA? Muay Thai? Or focus solely on BJJ?

20061105

Work out:
3xCFWU of 5's and 1 min on eliptical.

Back to basics, less tirades and rants, more workout logging.

20061101

Supposedly I have a blog about my fitness goals...

I'd like to think that a man has just as much time as any other, and keeping track of what one does shouldn't be so hard to do...
...alas...
