...ran last night after randori and then again this morning.

...been lazy with the gym for the last few days. I just don't have the energy to go work out. Today is Olga and my 8th anniversary. We will probably go to Eugene for the day and dinner. Bronze anniversary....what do you get someone that is bronze? Anyway...flowers are in order for sure. Bronze flowers???

Back to training...

I have managed to get myself back into the gym after a few weeks in hiatus. I feel pretty good about my strength level considering, but I also feel the need to return to the creatine supplement for better recovery. I have also started training in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu again. It kind of feels good to take on the role of student again. Teachers make the worst students sometimes....and I am no exception. I am training 2-3 days a week doing privates with Ben Baxter, a BJJ black belt. He is a good instructor with a good sense of details and ability to tailor the lessons to my needs. Good stuff!

bad sandwich...

Not going to the gym this morning. I had a bit of a morning belly battle with the meatball sandwich (subway) I ate last night. Hopefully, I can get back to a solid workout routine soon. I really need to burn the belly fat and get back to full strength. Maybe I should stop eating meatball sandwiches at 11pm.
