I managed to set myself up for a significant challenge to my endurance today, what with gym and jujutsu. Oof. Flopsy now.
Running: 1 mile in 10 minutes, 2.5 miles in 27:50 thanks to working the interval method. Cycling: Slower than usual. 7K in 29:50.
Jujutsu tonight was all grappling drills and groundwork. Groundwork is hot, sweaty, and exhausting, because it involves every damn muscle in your body. And because all the boys have been doing this thing longer than me, and are rather fitter in the core to boot, I ended up suffering an ungodly number of joint-locks during the span of each of our four-minute groundfighting sessions.
And can I just say, once more, that groundwork is exhausting. And arm-bars and leg locks are freaking sore.
But hey, I'm less incompetent now than I was three weeks ago. This is improvement.
