Cardio!

Went to grappling class last night.  Had two cage fights - one with Pietro and one with Alan.  Oleg said that my cardio has seriously improved.  I am really happy.  On top of it, even though I don't enjoy running anymore, I would like to do a 5k for breast cancer with the Judester.  So improving my cardio will certainly help.

BTW, I am definitely bikini ready!!!!!!  Maybe I'll post a new pic soon.  Thanks Oleg.  You are awesome.

Getting stronger

Grappled on Monday.  It was great.  We had three rounds of 2 minutes (so Oleg says) each.  No other women there, so I had to go all out.  I am friggin' sore, even today.  It was good though.  This grappling is helping me sleep.  More tonight.

I've been bad at blogging

Ok, so the last time I blogged was June 13 and it's June 28.  I am bad, I know.  I have some shit that I am sorting through.  Take note though.  I grapple Mon, Wed, Fri without fail.  That is except last week (Wed, the 24 and Fri, the 26).  I was in DC.  I missed the grappling, was a little stressed out since I couldn't work out my frustration.  So, I am back.  I did Grace today at 65# and will start grappling again tomorrow.  All is good.

Grace 65#   30 reps clean and push-press  9'54"

I grappled my butt off Wed and Fri.  'Nuf said.

Got an ass kickin'

Had a blast at grappling class yesterday.  Once again, I was the only chick.  Now, I really love when that happens.  I learn much more quickly when my partner knows WTF he is doing.  Adam was my partner and we taught each other different moves.  It was awesome.  Oleg tried to get a young kid to grapple with me, but he bitched about grappling with a girl.  Grow the f- up!  Man, NJ is so backwards and sexist.   I think that he was afraid that I might win. 

Oh yeah baby!

I grappled on Wed and Fri.  Oleg AND Tom commented on my arms (and shame, shame on my cleavage, which I covered up for grappling class and they caught on the way into and out of the gym).  Anyway, it motivated me to lift....
