BACK ON TRACK
Things I did since my last post:
1. Ran a half-marathon (Virginia Beach...3hr, 1 min...not what I wanted, but it was also 85 and 80% humidity)
2. Broke 300!- I am now 293 lbs. 68 lbs to my goal weight of 225. We'll see from there.
3. Wore an XL shirt for the first time in 9 years.
Training continues to go well, though I've been out a bit lately, busy with work and gigs on the weekend. BUT, our cross-training in Brazilian Jiujitsu is GREAT- I always look forward to geting pounded and doling out poundings. Those hour-and-a-half sessions are some of the best workouts I've ever had (I lost 6 lbs in one night). It adds a practical, "messy" element to martial arts, which gets us momentarily away from the form and structure of Taekwondo and allows us to focus simply on survival. I thought I would hate it, and 5 minutes before we begin I DO, but as soon as we get going, I relax into it, and it is a BLAST.
I think I am going to shift into less running and more biking until the new year- I am burning out with running, though I do want to run the Music City Half in April. So, off I go, spending what little "me" time I get on maintaining MOVEMENT!
