The last few weeks have been awesome as far as training and nutrition and some joy in finding a BJJ club to train at BUT 2 weeks of severe DOMS took a bit of the fun out of life!
I have been pushing it the last little while because I see the specialist about my hip surgery on the 8th March so we can schedule in my surgery and I want to be as strong as possible before the big day but man-oh-man have I been sore!
Sunday I took myself into GNC and had a good chat to one of the guys there about my recovery (or lack of!) and $200 bucks and few days later and I feel a million bucks - money definitely well spent.
Getting older sucks as far as recovery goes, it just takes forever but this has definitely taken the edge of it.
I've been hitting the weights hard 4 x week and finishing those sessions with 15-20 minutes of intervals on the bike or eliptical and really smashing it.
I also have my taekwondo training twice a week and now BJJ twice a week.
I am holding off on the running for a few weeks even though I am itching to get stuck into it as I have signed up for the Puffing Billy Great Train Race in May.
I love running hills and that baby is all hills so there will be plenty of hill repeats in my future in the coming months.
The BJJ class I did on Friday night was awesome.
I had no idea what I was doing so it was all about defence when I got to spar the first night!
A great bunch of guys and I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to head back this week.
My training with Mr Oh was postponed from Monday because the roads were horrific with accidents, I sat for 20 minutes and got about 2km so I had to call and let Mr Oh know I wouldn't get there which was extremely frustrating but not much I can do about it. I'll make up for it this coming Monday.
I'm feeling very strong and very fit and my hip has behaved itself for the most part so right now it is all good!
