Getting myself prepared...

I have begun the "getting back into shape" process today. I plan to do a new photo shoot for the book soon. In order to do that, I have to remember that I will be wearing a rashguard (very form fitting), so I need to be in better shape to look good in the photos. I also intend to hit some big tournaments next year, so I am giving myself a few months of intense periodized training and proper nutrition. Perhaps it is a mid-life thing (I'll be 40 next week) or just a need to feel healthier and set a good example. Anyway, I will be recruiting a few volunteers from our dojo to work in some grappling and sparring time with me. Sounds like fun...See you at the dojo!
