Well, for the last 3 weeks I've been out of commission. It was pretty interesting, mainly because I hardly ever get sick. I'm known for being strong of body, meaning tough, and if I do catch something it only effects me for a couple of days. In this instance, I've been sick for almost a month. Thankfully it isn't swine flu, but seemingly it was the next best (or worst) strain of the flu possible. I'm slowly recovering, and sadly I haven't been able to train.
In my last post I brought up my lack of motivation to train, and I'm happy to report that is gone. BJJ, well fighting in general, is on my mind at all times. I think of it when I eat, go to class, or sleep. The only problem is that I've essentially gone a month without eating or drinking, working out hasn't been an option, my stamina has drained away. Though, oddly enough, I can fight longer than Rolles Gracie...In an effort to test myself I went 1 on 1 with the heavy bag, and a friend, and determined I can fight for about 5 minutes straight. It's a start, but I'm gassed and need an extended break when sparring.
In the next coming weeks I'll be posting more regularly, since I'll be building myself back up it'll be fairly interesting. Look forward to more posts, and thanks for stopping by!
