Today was better. I asked Andee if she wanted to test.
"Yes." was her reply.
Then I asked her, "No seriously. Do you really want to go? Because if you do, I will train all day every day to get you (and me) there, but it's probably going to suck for awhile and it's going to be hard, and we are going to get our teeth kicked in by a KJN pretty much every day, so if you are feeling it, I'm in, but if you are not sure then now is the time to kick that to the curb."
"Nope, I'm in."
"Done."
I had a private with KJN Jon this morning which was very productive. I worked on section 4 of the fighting system, again, and still got the kicks mixed up, again....Hopefully that's cleared up now. We worked on defense against the side mount and the ground headlock, ground control/flow drill and Palgae 7, which he cleaned up a lot. It was a great session. Then Andee came in and we worked fighting system....again. We're getting pretty good at the elbows! Ha! Still screwing up the kicks....I blazed home to two tired kids and we watched a movie. I am supplementing but my body is a mess. I just want to lay down and curl up into a ball. Yeah, it's only June. Gack. I got my second wind when we went to afternoon class. I told KJN Gary that Andee and I would be testing together in September. "We'll see." He said. "You've got a month!"
I said, "HA! Easy! Done." He laughed and said he took bribes. I'm pretty sure he was kidding. Anyway, I went to KJN Jon and told him we needed to turn up the heat. He's on board.
I feel better about the potential for Andee to be there. She works so hard and I know she can be ready more than I know I can be. My crucial issues are poor flexibility in my hip, a torn left meniscus in my left knee and an arthritic left shoulder. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play? Andee and I finished Tough Mudder together last year. We have mutual friends on soccer teams and our husbands both travel for business. We are good together, and like KJN Jon said, "Us Mudders finish together."
CGN Lori said she'd help get us ready. I feel like we have a lot of support to go as a pair. Obviously, we have to earn it. So we are training together every extra minute. Tomorrow, we are meeting after KB to work more stuff. Right now, it's 4-5 hours a day.
Today, I did my kicking routine again. 25 each leg of Side kick, front kick, back kick and roundhouse on the bag with 5lb ankle weights. I did 200 wall kicks, 3 sets of 30 situps with a 12lb medicine ball on top of my 25 situps in class, 25 pushups, 10 triangle pushups and 30 burpees (15 in class and 15 at KB). I did a total of 30 pull-ups between KB and class. We worked passing guard most of the class ending with arm bar and triangle leg choke. I was knackered. Cumulative fatigue is already setting in and it's time to start evaluating priorities. Still doing fine on the diet. Fish tacos for dinner last night. Goat's Milk yogurt for breakfast. Lots of veggies in between. 3 liters of water: check. No coffee, no alcohol, no crack, no cigarettes, nada. My body is a temple. ha ha.
Went to the Dermatologist today. He removed three unwanted moles. Now I've got a hole in my arm. I'm hoping I don't get a nasty staff infection.
