The summer has begun and hopefully will the adventures. So far I have done the usual summer start; I've gone fishing, ate some BBQ, and decided that it's time to get ripped. As to appease the the latter statement I thought I'd try my hand at MMA training, otherwise known as cage fighting. Of course this is strictly to get in shape and what not. So I go there with a friend of mine, a girl, and we train with a guy who didn't seem to look the part. That was of course until he decided to see how good my gaurd was. I promptly took a few shots to the side of my head. We are both wearing gloves so it's not painful, but still shocking non the less. Getting hit I suppose is part of what this training is. So what do I do? I try to hit him back. Impossible! This heavy set guy is like neo from the matrix. Everytime I swing he dodges me and says I'm leaving myself open and shows me this with another tap to the head. Then there was the ground game. Short story even shorter is, nothing like be suffocated with your own arm... Over all fun time! It was just like wrestling practice was in high school. A workout where you really feel like you've done something.On a workout note, I still have the aspiration to compete (finish) in a triathlon. So far I've been more comitted to the workout schedule and my swimming is vastly improving (not drowning). By putting this up on here I hope to pressure myself into finishing the training.
Other notes since last post: ceiling caved in from water damage, now have two jobs, have a sweet fish tank (would've rather have a dog, but fish will do for now).
