Exercise Diary

4 hour session at Geoff thompson's black belt course

 Diary

Up early again for the start of whats going to be a marathon weekend, exercise wise that is, was at the At7 centre before 9 so no time to go out walking, and looking at the terrible weather i was glad i never

The session this morning was all about grappling and fighting on the floor, for those of you that don't know about this sport i must tell you its the most physically demanding of all the arts and you get so so tired and very quickly to say the least so 4 hours worth is a real test of courage and endurance.

I must say i coped quite well and although exhausted at times i feel my recovery rate was on a par with the best of them and that's including the younger ones, this is the first time i have noticed this and felt better for it, don't get me wrong it was a really tiring session but everyone was in the same boat.

Going for a soak in the tub as the aches and pains are already starting to kick in and have a proper grueller to come with 2 sessions back to back tomorrow

Remember to say a prayer for me tonight on anticipation of tomorrow lol
