FYI: I survived a full Karate class on Monday. More frequent breaks to catch my breath, but I made it through. Now its Wed. and my muscles feel alive! Ah, I missed them, its nice to be back, even if it is for only a week and a half. :)
Oh, my apologies to a certain 6' plus, 200 lb individual's jaw during jui-jitsu head-lock escapes. I guess I don't know my own weight (I have weight!? Well, I guess I did gain 4 lbs since chemo ended. lol)

Good for you for continuing to work out.
ReplyDeleteTotally sweeeeeet that you can.
Re: appology
That kinda sounded more like you're proud of yourself. lol
I was proud of my performance, not his pain. I apologized sincerely at the time, this was more to poke fun without naming names because before we even grappled heads, he jokingly said, "Oh, oh, Shane's going to hurt me". It was a very minor hurt too, just a pressure point, no bruising. I got my release though. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHe's a brown belt, he can take a few pressure point presses. He also had been training in class with a slim teenager who'd being going easy on him up to that point.
