Here’s some great news for 2019! On January 14th, at 8:15pm, I finally made it to my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class of the year. This really shouldn’t be a highlight, but given I haven’t been on the mats in about a month, and that my longest consistent stretch was maybe 3 days in one week about 4 months ago, I’m just happy to be there.
It was a solid workout, and one that I’m hoping I’ll be able to stick to a solid schedule for moving forward. It’s nice that my kids go to sleep around 7pm, which means I can be out the door by 7:45pm without too much issue to make it to the gym early.
This morning, on the other hand, was another no-go for running. No reason other than the fact that my son was a brat last night and decided he had to sleep with mom and baba…which means, my wife brought him to bed and he wriggled out of her arms and slid under mine. I really don’t know how me manages it at not even 8 months old, but frankly, I don’t mind. It does make for a solid reason not to get up early so as to avoid waking him up.
Anyway, I’m going to have to start committing to the running, otherwise, I’m never going to see any progress with it.
Also, I’m 2 weeks into the year, and well behind on my count, but I’m currently at 8 workouts in 14 days: 6 weight sessions, 1 run and 1 BJJ class. I’m going to have to up the frequency on the running and BJJ if I’m going to get any kind of appreciable workout count by year end!
If all goes well, I’ll be back on the mats tonight for another BJJ class.
