Gym today. Running, 1.5 miles in 15:00 minutes, 2 miles in 21:50. Cycling, 7.25km in 32 minutes.
Jujutsu.
Rolling around on the mats with boys who are bigger, fitter, and more experienced in the ways of wrestling does much to reconfirm me in my belief that in a real fight? I'm a lot more likely to get killed or seriously injured if I get taken to the ground than if I stay on my feet.
The more I learn, the less likely I am to get maimed or dead in such a situation. Also, it's fun. Sweaty, wet, disgusting, exhausting - but fun.
