I titled this blog that because I have had that amazing Target commercial song in my head all day. Mainly due to the fact that I started back to class this week. Yeay! My Monday class is epidemiology, which I had a little experience with in environmental health class. The good news is that I do not have any big projects or presentations, just a couple homework assignments and 2 exams. The bad news is that our class is in a room that is the width of a hallway and it is super hot in there.
Today I also started back training full time. I did a killer weight and cardio circuit this am in which I almost could not make it 5 rounds. I really had to push myself to complete the workout. It was MISERABLE. Then school and then back to the gym for BJJ tonight. It was wicked hot in the bjj cave this evening, so even an easy workout felt brutal. For technique we worked hip escapes from mount then we worked where the person on top transitioned to a collar choke and then to the armbar when the person on bottom tries to hip escape. During the training portion of the class I was on a mission. TOP GAME. Believe it or not I only went on my back once tonight, and had a good session playing on top and trying to pass. Against one classmate whom I had never started on top against, I learned the hard way (again) about where my true weaknesses lie. We all have to start somewhere!! Overall it was a good session and I am confident about it. I did not stay for the second class this evening because I am starting to listen to my body more lately. I was tired, sore, and did not want to push too hard and force an injury. Instead I stretched and watched the advanced class. Tonight Traven was training and that is always great to watch. He stays soooo heavy and tight when he is on top. I only hope that one day my bjj will be 1/10th of what his is. He truly is a genius in this sport!
