Happy and Bruised
Ouch,
I have a nice line of dark bruises down each forearm from Jujitsu last night. I'd send you a picture but I think blogging parts of my anatomy may raise concerns with the management. It was soooo much fun last night.
I have 20 weeks until my first competition which is really exciting in many ways, scarey in others. It's a national, though I don't expect to become national champion, I hope to hold my own against the youngerfasterfitterstrongertaller chaps. I might just make sure my health insurance is in order beforehand though. :-) Someone told me I should do a 20 week training blog to make sure I stick to the plan and compare notes with others like fight geek.
My boss described me as Stig of the Dump today in referring to my workspace. Looking around me I think he may be on to something. I look at Neato's desk who sits behind me, and there's quite a stark difference. Hmm.
It just shows I'm crazy busy and always movin and shakin or something.... Maybe not.
I'm getting the cameras and footage back from Camden today. It's been a nightmare trying to get the equipment back. I've been told it will arrive this afternoon after I was told I'd get it sorted this morning. Crap. That does mean I can start working on the footage and get it over the suite for a proper edit for you lovely people who couldn't make it down. Fingers crossed, this should be the first properly done podcast.
Anyhow, I'm rambling as usual so I'll sod off before I say something controversial. ;-)
Hope you're having a lovely sunny day like us Londoners.

I've just moved my Troubadour date to the 21st of this month (stage time 8.30), which will be a nice little warm up before my tour starts.. it would be great to see you down there..

I'm no expert, but I'd be happy to 'compare notes' on your future training plans. . .
or I could just email you verbal abuse and the odd threat of violence to help keep you motivated . . .
:)
cheers
I'm setting up my own training blog to gather together my notes and footage of excercises n such. It's at - http://indieboyintraining.vox.com/ - I'm kicking it all off next week officially as it'll be the start of my 20 weeks.
I don't have any tyres to fling around unfortunately...... ;-)

And don''t sweat not having tyres . . . you BJJ dudes have always got one another to throw around
:)
As usual, I recommend ICY HOT balm for your simple aches and pains!!!
Thanks for your well wishes, but I didn't enjoy a "sunny day" until AFTER I'd returned home from running the errands! (-Ain't that the way?)
;-)
Sleet and rain this morning here..., -'Till the split second I returned home from my errands... (-Rolls eyes...)
-Sunshiney since getting home, of course...
Dude, what is "Sod off"?
(-Doesn't sound good, so I hope it wasn't directed at me...)
I look forward to your "after-fire" footage of a certain past musical Camden event!
TTYS,

"End of Camden" !!!
You're not getting all Doris Stokes on us are you.
COMPETITION TIP FOR INDIEBOY:
From my Karate days (national comps all over the place).... as soon as you "get into it" with your opponent, do something really dirty - like a swift knee to the happy sack or something (nothing that gets you disqualified though) - then make a huge fuss of saying sorry, and act like you're really disappointed in yourself, like you really should know better. Really make a big song and dance of making sure they're ok before you continue.
It breaks their spirit in two - everytime.
Naughty but effective.
