Election Night

I think i am just going to Secede.  That is all I will say about that.

My hip is sore.  My right shoulder is sore.  My left elbow is sore.  They are all sore like they have been hyper extended.  Oh, and I just noticed my right foot is sore also.

But what an awesome activity this Jiu Jitsu is.  I finished 2 classes today and rolled for my first time.  Rolling is the actual wrestling/grappling/fighting thing that we do.  I rolled with a couple of different partners of varying degrees.  This sport is very humbling.  Tapping out because you are beat is done voluntarily.  As long as you can take the pain and you are conscious you can keep going.  It is exhausting.

I did a great workout yesterday as well, and have a great workout planned tomorrow as well as some hill running planned. 

The hill running is like the bayous I used to run in high school football.  Down at George Bush Park there are some great big, steep and crazy hills trails, about 50 feet long or so at a 45-50 degree angle.  I just plan on doing them until I want to throw up.  That is usually the point that I know I should stop.

Then on Thursday I have a Jiu Jitsu class in the morning and the evening, then a traditional wrestling class in the evening as well.  That should be interesting.

I cannot wait until December when I can start working the bike back into the routine.  I already know that first ride back, planned to be about 25 miles, is going to absolutely hurt.

Happy Socialist day!!!
